Corinne Hoffman describes her return to Switzerland and the difficulties that faced her there, detailing how she built a new life for herself and her daughter - and overcame all obstacles with the same courage and optimism with which she faced the demands of her life in the Kenyan outback.
CORINNE HOFMANN was born in 1960 of a French mother and a German father in Frauenfeld, in the Swiss canton of Thurgau. She had an international bestseller with The White Masai, an autobiographical account of her life in Kenya, which has since been translated into more than twenty languages and was adapted for film in 2005, seen by more than one million people. Her second book, Zuruck aus Afrika (Back from Africa) described her attempt to start a new life back in Switzerland. She now lives near Lake Lugano, Switzerland.
