I belong to "no one's land" (2/2 people found this helpful)
This is not only the captivating story of a girl growing up in the jungle with a tribe that has habits so entirely different than ours.
It depicts the struggle of a person who had to forget everything she thought she knew and let go of all the assumptions she grew up in. It's a story that speaks to the heart of anyone who ever had to leave their home country and adapt to a new culture or grew up in a culture that was never entirely `their own'...
Not feeling at home where you are and realizing that the place from your childhood dreams doesn't exist anymore...
Never a place to call your true home...
This book is a marvelous illustration of how it is to belong to "no one's land"...
Really enjoyable (2/3 people found this helpful)
I just really enjoyed this book from start to finish. Interesting and captivating. I felt as if I could really relate to the author.
Excellent. Thoroughly recommendable.
Fantastic! (7/8 people found this helpful)
The book is a truly fantastic read. Sabine writes about all of her experiences in such detail, both in the jungle and back in Europe trying to fit back in to the European way of life as opposed to a jungle exsistence, that you really feel like you are there with her. I never wanted it to end and I really hope that she writes more about the tribe in the future. Fascinating and inspiring.
