The White Masai: Corinne Hoffman

I've read 83 pages.  Out of 307.  That will have to be enough.  

This book is the testimony of a young Swiss woman, who narrates her own story.  She's a victim of 'love at first sight' with a Masai tribesman whom she sees across a crowded room whilst on holiday in Kenya with her boyfriend.  She gives up everything to be with this man and join his tribal existence.  

While the accounts of life with the Masai are interesting, and while Hoffman is undoubtedly brave, I became increasingly irritated by her.  Hoffman seems to be the victim of a lustful crush.  She pursues her 'warrior' as she calls him, with an intensity that shows little understanding of him, or his culture. She's willing to live with him in his village, but seems to have litle inkling of the impact her appearance in his community has on either him or his community.  

I've skipped to the end.  I know it will all end in tears.  I just don't want to spend any more time in Corinne Hoffman's company to find out where and how it all goes horribly wrong.
