"I read this book with great delight...what an interesting life and what a wealth of experience. Congratulations! This book is great!"
Dave Bloom., Tel Aviv, Israel, Founder and Editor of the Zimbabwe Jewish Community website: www.zjc.org.il
LETTERS FROM WANKIE is a terrific read... I highly recommend...a well-written book. Through her work as Clerk of the Court for the Native Commissioner, the author experiences and provides, with a matter-of-fact humour, a fascinating insight into the culture: a snapshot of life in a remote district of Rhodesia in the early 1950's."
Amy B., Patchoque, NY, US
"Witty and Wonderful!...a captivating, entertaining memoir of one woman's fascinating two-year adventure into a foreign world. It is sure to capture your heart; don't miss it."
Paul L., Jerusalem, Israel
"Delightfully told with light wry humour, and through letters, to give us a real feel of the place, and with the pathos of looking back now at a country destroyed, this is an excellent memoir."
Rafe B, Bradenton, Florida, US
"Friedberg makes a compelling case for the benevolent aspects of pre-independence Africa where there were heroic individuals who were able to make a difference ...LETTERS FROM WANKIE is a valuable insight into pre-independence east Africa and one woman's positive impact.."
Gillian E., Tierra Verde, Florida, US
"...the area came alive with the author's vivid descriptions and many challenges - a page turner, and a great follow-up to Friedberg's earlier book, 21 ALDGATE.
Leila D., London, England
"...a truly great read! I loved and enjoyed every word of this wonderfully written, memoir, which I strongly recommend
