| Back in January, I reviewed Lost in Africa. Emma’s Camp is the sequel to that novel and races along to bring a stunning conclusion to the travails of a group of unlikely friends -- James, an English architect who has lost his wife, Emma, to a group of terrorists headed by Omar; Vincent, a Masai warrior; and Andrew, an ex-special forces soldier. They have built Emma’s Camp in honor of James’s wife, and the opening of the camp and James’s determination to rid Africa of poachers acts as a catalyst for the rest of this story.
Although reading Lost in Africa is not mandatory, it will give you a more detailed background into previous tragedies and will help to give this novel a greater depth of meaning. By all means, read both!
Africa is a brutal continent, and its stories not always easy to take. If you get queasy watching National Geographic, this book is not for you. This is a beautifully written story of life and death in a land that is both breathtaking and deadly. Kudos to Stuart Ford for another good read and a brilliant conclusion. | | |
