The daughter of a poet, Esme chooses her words carefully and is observant of all around her. Her knowledge of Italian and the rhythms of that language give the prose an added lyricism and an often-dreamlike quality that is enhanced by Penelope Ann Miller's reading. (Running time: 3 hours, 2 cassettes) --Anne Lockwood
At the center of it all is the young and beautiful Esme, a free spirit in search of love and a place to call home. She thinks she has found what she is looking for in Adam, a safari leader with an almost holy appreciation of the terrain. Then she meets Hunter, a spitfire journalist outraged by the poverty and violence in which most Africans live.
Combining the romanticism of Isak Dinesen with language reminiscent of Ernest Hemingway, Marciano juxtaposes the magnificent beauty of the Kenyan landscape with the human capacity for carelessness and brutality. Erotic, sensual, lush with detail and insight, Rules of the Wild evokes a land that demands catharsis and a heroine suddenly, achingly, alive.
