Written in a travel diary format, supplemented with beautiful photographs and charming illustrations, this book documents a family experience of living with a Himba community in the dry northwest of Namibia where Jill Kinahan and her archaeologist husband John Kinahan recorded the material remains of Himba culture. Simply but descriptively and honestly written, Jill explores the challenges they faced and lessons learnt in the exchange of cultures, norms and traditions. The book concludes with a Himba folktale that records their belief in the afterlife.
