And while I’m at it, if you haven’t picked up your own copy of Sally Henderson’s latest book, Ivory Moon, get down to your local bookstore and get yourself one! Sally and I have been great mates for a long time (well before we ever dreamed we’d get to be published writing about Africa) and she writes about Africa with an insider’s knowledge and a truly deep and beautiful appreciation of its mysteries and wonders. If you loved her first book “Silent Footsteps” you don’t want to miss this one…
Sally’s long love affair with Africa and its elephants was brought to life in the bestselling Silent Footsteps. Her new book Ivory Moon continues that affair in one of the most inhospitable landscapes on the planet…
When Sally and her husband Jer volunteer to run a remote safari camp in the parched Namib Desert where existence depends on the life-giving fog from the Skeleton Coast, she has no idea if it is heaven or hell that awaits her. Sally is tested by the camp staff, who come from many different tribes, and challenged by the intractable men’s men who make Africa their hunting ground.
Vivid and immediate, Sally’s depiction of the wildlife that rules Africa is unparalleled. Ivory Moon takes us into the heart of a strange desert world where nothing is as it seems.
