“Waters of the Sanjan is fiction based on fact, woven around the life of a known (Masai) warrior who lived at the turn of the century. It is an historical novel and the events portrayed were not unusual in the life of a warrior of those times. The customs and traditions are accurate; the places where events took place are real places and to date still go by the same name the Waters of the Sanjan, translated literally, Inkariak-oo-Sanjan, means “The Waters of Sweehearts”, and in fact is a place that lies to the North of the famous treeless undulating savannah known the world over as The Serengeti, and to the Masai as Sirinket.

He has, since childhood mixed freely in friendship with both their children and the elders, and has had a unique opportunity to observe their way of life and customs.” Geoffrey Cotterell , Tanzanian Affairs Waters of the Sanjan is an accurate and admirable historic record of my people, recording their way of life at another point in time, yet not so very long ago. And because not many truly authentic books have been written about us, it is, I think, a valuable record of a proud people that will enlighten the reader and allow him to glimpse another world. He may, perhaps, shudder at the horror of some of the more violent sections, but he will emerge the wiser for knowing and understanding a little of what our forefathers had to cope with , and what they suffered, not only at the hands of encroaching colonialism, but at the hand of nature; climatic disaster, diseases of man and beast and inter/intra tribal wars that were the norm and claimed with monotonous regularity the lives of many.” Foreword from Ole Ntekerei Memusi
Waters of the Sanjan Authentic historical novel of the Masai edition by David Read Birgit Hendry Wayne Hendry Literature Fiction eBooks
Insightful is the best way to describe this book. It allows you to look back at a time when the tribes of East Africa were one with their environment. It also allows us to see how they used to live and love and war. Having lived in Tanzania, as it is now known, it was interesting to hear the names of the places and the local lore attached to them. David Read tells tales with no punches pulled, much the same way as the people he writes about.Product details

Waters of the Sanjan Authentic historical novel of the Masai edition by David Read Birgit Hendry Wayne Hendry Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Good book
David Read was great historian of Tanganyika. And especially Mbulu.
The story of Dangoya the warrior is most fascinating one and live to great history of lasseko
Read this in Tanzania on safari and was blown away. I am still talking and thinking about the Masai culture represented in this novel. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in different cultures. I want all of his books on . They were for sale at the first place I stayed in Arusha and I never saw more than just this one for sale after that.
I looked for a book on the Masai, written by a Masai and could not find one. But I was not disappointed. Excellent historical fiction and an eye-opening look into a fascinating culture in a stunning place and during an interesting time. Well done Read!
I did not read the book yet, but I did read two other books written by David Read, they are Barefoot Over The Serengeti and Beating about the Bush and they proved to be fascinating, so I decided to buy Waters of the Sanjan also. David Read spent his childhood playing with the Masai and he gives first hand information about life in Africa in the early days. I did visit Africa few years ago and I enjoyed every detail the books offer. By reading his books I understood better some of the local customs and mentalities. The local tribes learned how to live with a harsh environment and not only to survive but enjoy life to the full.
