Have just received the sad news a few moments ago that my good friend and well known Kenya author and historian, Cynthia Salvadori, committed suicide last night. She was in regular touch with me, exchanging lengthy e-mails about our mutual concern for the peoples of Kenya's Northern Frontier. Her last e-mail to me was last week. Many will remember her two tomes - " THROUGH OPEN DOORS" & the 3 masterly volumes, "WE CAME IN DHOWS"
The end of an era. Cynthia lived on Lamu island in Kenya. Mervyn Maciel
