Dr Anne Spoerry, an early member of Kenya's Flying Doctors, was famous for her service to thousands in remote Kenya. She was in the French resistance, captured and sent to Ravensbrück. There she probably collaborated with the Nazis for survival. Facing prosecution after the war, she fled to Africa where she served tirelessly. Painful reading at times, the book is quite good and measured, neither overlooking her faults nor piling on. It is quite plain that her service was seeking of atonement.
