Olive the Lionheart by Brad Ricca

8/11/2020

A fascinating armchair journey to the deep dark jungles of Africa in 1910. Olive Macleod ventured with another couple to places that few white people went to let alone a woman to find her fiancee's gravesite and recover his journals. To get there she found herself in dangerous situations such as being attacked by hippos, crossing rivers and swamps atop a guide's shoulders, deadly snakes and insects as well as less than friendly natives, corrupt government and poison. The story has been connected by Olive's letters to her fiancee , his letters and journals and the author's vivid imagination. If you have ever longed to discover a little known wonder or found yourself immersed in Isak Dinesen's OUT OF AFRICA and Wilbur Smith's African adventures, then this book is a must read. I don't know if she was naive, lucky or a bit reckless but Olive Macleod lived life on her own terms and was as fearless as the lion cubs she adopted.
