What is the author's tone in the memoir, West with the Night?

The tone of Beryl's memoir is subjective, as would be with any autobiographical work. Throughout the book, Beryl discussed her childhood and early adulthood in Africa, her adopted country. Beryl spoke of the country with great affection, implying to the reader that it was quite normal to have lions living in your front yard. Even when discussing times of tragedy, Beryl wrote with a sense of whimsy that implied to the reader that she never really blamed her environment or the animals of the wilds for the sorrow they brought to her world.
