Not super surprised from some offhand prior comments, but there is a very strange out of place aggressively anti-white racist rant towards the end of this book, that falls dead in the middle of unending stories of hospitality and actual communal privilege afforded her during this experience. Went from near heartwarming to vulgar and unfinishable very quickly. "Stunning and beautifully written..." Sure at times.

I couldn't put this book down. I had no idea that when this book was written that there were so many people living like this. And surprised at the attitudes. Such a good book
