Book Review of The Headhunter's Daughter

The Headhunter's Daughter
reviewed on + 29 more book reviews


I really expected more from this book. A small part told of her experiences, as a child, attending Mission School and relating to the native children. However, the writing was disjointed and while she shared parts of her life in Africa she failed to develop a comprehensive account of her experiences there. It seemed like she carried a pad with her and wrote down bits of her memories of her early life. She had a great opportunity to write a great book, but I feel failed in that attempt.
