In 1949, Rosamond Halsey Carr, a young fashion illustrator living in New York City, accompanied her dashing hunter-explorer husband to what was then the Belgian Congo. When the marriage fell apart, she decided to stay on in neighboring Rwanda, as the manager of a flower plantation. Land of a Thousand Hills is Carr's thrilling memoir of her life in Rwanda—a love affair with a country and a people that has spanned half a century. During those years, she has experienced everything from stalking leopards to rampaging elephants, drought, the mysterious murder of her friend Dian Fossey, and near-bankruptcy. She has chugged up the Congo River on a paddle-wheel steamboat, been serenaded by pygmies, and witnessed firsthand the collapse of colonialism. Following 1994's Hutu-Tutsi genocide, Carr turned her plantation into a shelter for the lost and orphaned children-work she continues to this day, at the age of eighty-seven.

This young lady from New Jersey married a British adventurer, divorced him after a time and stayed in Rwanda to become an important figure through the decades of painful change up through the 1994 genocide. Rosamond Carr's telling of her personal story in Rwanda is the most clear, thoughtful telling of this complex national journey I have read. My wife and I have spent several months in Rwanda working with national parks and training guides. Like Ms. Carr we fell in love with the landscape, the people and the wildlife. I have read a dozen books about the beautiful nation, but none so built on love and respect as this. She explains in a balanced manner how the transition from tribal relationships through colonial control and into a modern nation happened in the last decades of the 20th Century. Her unique relationship to Dian Fossey and proximity to the mountain gorillas is also enlightening. If you've read Gorillas in the Mist or In the Kingdom of Gorillas, this adds another layer of understanding behind the mountain gorilla survival story. Rosa Carr's niece helped her write this and it is wonderfully readable, pulling you through to learn more.
