I just finished the book, and I encourage you to do so as well. I believe you could skip the "from the journal / diary" part - I think that's what the middle part is called. If you're not liking that, head directly to Farewell to the Farm. Be sure to read the chapter called, The Grave In the Hills - Cheryl, this is where you hear more about her relationship with Denys and the depth of their relationship and the profoundness of her unexpected loss. It is interesting to wonder what it might have been if he hadn't passed away. I wonder if she would have been more likely to return to Africa.
Kim, was she buried in Denmark? Or in Africa? I'd like to think she was returned to Africa to lay next to Denys. But I suppose that was very tough to accomplish in those days.
Again, I encourage you to read the last pieces. Especially after watching some of the movie last night, it will make you feel very good.
Love you all - I hope you enjoy The Thirteenth Tale!
Molly
