The story told by Corinna Hofmann is not just a love story. This is a very frank, truthful and full of deep feeling story about how a white woman abandoned the benefits that European civilization bestows on modern man for the sake of love for a dark-skinned Maasai warrior. Those four years that a native of blessed Switzerland spent next to her man in Kenya village located in the African desert, became for the heroine her personal hell and her paradise, where boundless love and a fierce struggle for survival, an exciting adventure and an endless existence on the verge of physical and spiritual strength are intertwined into a single whole. And most importantly, it was a struggle in which Corinna Hofmann won a resounding victory. The book was translated into all European languages and published in a total circulation of 4 million copies. A film was made based on the book, which triumphantly took place throughout Western Europe.
