Green City in the Sun Hardcover – 17 May 2012

This is a very dense book and took me quite some time to read. It is a romping page turner, spanning several generations and there's enough murder, passion and revenge to last you for a long time! I would say that I found some of the scenarios rather far-fetched but, at the same time, I did find it enjoyable and engaged (on the whole) with the characters. Wood had clearly done her research into the colonial and tribal Kenya and I'm wondering if she spent time living there.

I have never before come across such a detailed, informing and magnificent storyteller. I know Kenya, I know the history but I never believed I would be a part of it as I was when Barbara Wood drew me in and took me on her historical journey. I'm looking forward to reading another of her books!

Excellent book both in appearance and story.Read it years ago and have searched for another copy for ages.A book to read remember and never forget a beautiful saga.

I read this book years ago and when I saw it was available for the Kindle I couldn't resist it. It is one of the best books I have ever read. Not only is there a good story running through it but there is also an insight into African history. It's not a quick read so once you start make sure you have plenty of time to finish it because you won't want to put it down.

After being recommended to read this book, by a friend. I am so pleased I did. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire story from beginning to end. I was completely drawn into the very colourful life in Kenya. Descriptions made you feel you were there. I shall definitely be reading more of Barbara Wood.

I read this book years ago and have never forgotten how good it is. Gave my original copy away and had to buy another! A big book but well worth the read.

I have read this book twice before many years ago but want to keep it so I can read it whenever I want to.

Can't wait for my bedtime read! Barbara Wood brings Kenya alive and by the time you get half way, the characters are like old friends.
