This book was okay - it's advertised as erotic - it wasn't. It's set in Uganda but I didn't "feel" it - I wanted more about the African setting and lifestyle. Basically it's about a bored & unhappy wife that is intrigued with and then falls for a married man. Nothing new there. I was hoping the African setting would provide an interesting backdrop or different take on the age-old story, but it didn't.

Ummm...what to say...this is one of those novels that has a beauty in the writing, but the whole story made me uncomfortable. It took me a looooooooong time to finish it, and I'm not sure that reading it in the little spurts I did could give it justice. While I really wanted to like this book, for many reasons, I'm afraid that it just wasn't my style. Sensuality doesn't bother me, but I'm a prude, I guess, and don't like reading about infidelity.
