The story starts in the 1950s with the authoras return to Somalia after her wedding and goes on with her memories about her childhood in Mogadishu and then in Italy during the Second World War. It was a beautiful childhood thanks to the high-ranking position of her father, an easy life with her three sisters and her sweet mother. It continues with her adventures in the savannah with her husband, a lover of the great African spaces: hunting crocodiles, life under a tree, sunsets on the great plains, silence broken only by crickets, the faraway laugh of a hyena, the roar of a liona] The memories also intertwine with those of her motheras, who in 1928 reached her husband in Migiurtinia, north of Somalia, the only white woman there. The authoras experiences continue in other parts of the world working for the Italian Embassy and end with the war in El Salvador.
