Errol Trzebinski

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Errol Trzebinski (born 24 June 1936 in Gloucester), is a British writer. She lives and works in Lamu Island, Kenya. Her son is the painter , who was murdered in Kenya in 2001.

Trzebinski is an author of books on prominent individuals in the history of colonial Kenya including Silence Will Speak: A Study of the Life of Denys Finch Hatton and His Relationship With Karen Blixen (1977);[1] The Kenya Pioneers: The Frontiersmen of an Adopted Land (1985);[2] The Lives of Beryl Markham: Out of Africa's Hidden Free Spirit and Denys Finch Hatton's Last Great Love (1993);[3] and The Life and Death of Lord Erroll: The Truth Behind the Happy Valley Murder (2000).[4]

Her book Silence Will Speak was a source for the script of the 1985 Hollywood movie Out of Africa.[1] Her late husband Sbish Trzebinski appears as a drunkard in the film and is slapped by Meryl Streep when he insults her. Errol cast doubt on the authorship of West with the Night, claiming Beryl's 3rd husband Raoul C Schumacher was the ghost writer.
