   Jun 1, 2023 · Yet that’s not what seems to happen.

As of today, Out of Africa has 41,807 ratings on the fan review site Goodreads, with the latest review posted yesterday. (In Thai.)

   The author of Seven Gothic Tales — presents here reminiscences of twelve years on a coffee farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong Hills. Rarely does a book on a remote country convey so fully the feeling of the country and the people.

   While history does indeed have its place and time, Out of Africa stood out to me more as a work of wonder and poetry. The lyrical nature of the Baroness descriptions and her manner of seeing nature and people in a universal light provokes deep thought. There is a deep sadness, as she is eventually forced to leave her home due to failing finances.

   Who wrote out of Africa?

   • This was her second book, following Seven Gothic Tales. Dinesen wrote in both Danish and English.

   What is Blethyn's version of Vera?

   • Vera is much more than the hat, the Columbo mac and the attitude. Blethyn’s version of Vera includes a wide range of audible “hmmphs”, the interrogative “hmmmms?”, and a chesty cackle. Blethyn also does a lot with her eyes. There’s Vera’s hawk-like gaze that can spot a lie at a hundred paces.

   Does Blethyn make Vera a good character?

   • Ten seasons later, with series 11 already commissioned, Blethyn has made Vera well and truly hers through a variety of mannerisms that are easy to mock but hard to get right. Emily Taheny recently had a go on Sean Micaleff’s Mad as Hell but didn’t quite get there. Vera is much more than the hat, the Columbo mac and the attitude.
