A safari weekend in Tsavo that becomes a tragedy. For every human spirituality, there are rituals and rites of passage. In Luoland, Kenya, it is The Initiation.
The lie is necessary. Loyana, the beloved only daughter in the Lindqvist family, is old enough to be initiated in the Ancient Sacred Oath of Luoland's female deities. And her mother, Khira, is determined for Loyana to go through the ceremony, even while knowing that her husband, Erik, would forbid it. So, lie they must.
It is in Kenya's Tsavo National Park, where the entire Lindqvist family is looking forward to a weekend safari, that Loyana becomes deathly ill, and her mother learns she is inadvertently responsible for the poisoning. Because of The Initiation.
When Erik learns that his cherished daughter is so ill because his wife went against his emphatic wishes, he sees red and bashes Khira into a coma.
No medical help is available by way of transportation or communication in Tsavo National Park at night, except by radio calls and bribes. Will help arrive in time for mother and daughter?
“This is not only exotic, culturally stimulating and not run-of-the-mill Harlequin, it’s an intercultural study. The book is for the discerning and culturally savvy Africanists. Ever heard of A Many Splendoured Thing? Well this is the African version of that.”
