Summary:
"A true story of a
woman
's quest to
Africa
in the 1900s to find her missing fiancé, and the adventure that ensues. In 1910,
Olive
MacLeod, a thirty-year-old, redheaded Scottish aristocrat, received word that her fiancé, the famous naturalist Boyd Alexander, was missing in
Africa
. So she went to find him.
Olive
the
Lionheart
is the thrilling true story of her astonishing
journey
. In jungles, swamps, cities, and deserts,
Olive
and her two companions, the Talbots, come face-to-face with cobras and crocodiles, wise native chiefs, a murderous leopard cult, a haunted forest, and even two adorable lion cubs that she adopts as her own. Making her way in a pair of ill-fitting boots,
Olive
awakens to the many forces around her, from shadowy colonial powers to an invisible Islamic warlord who may hold the key to Boyd'
s
disappearance. As these secrets begin to unravel, all of
Olive
's assumptions prove wrong and she is forced to confront the darkest, most shocking secret of all: why she really came to
Africa
in the first place. Drawing on
Olive
's own letters and secret diaries,
Olive
the
Lionheart
is a
love
story that defies all boundaries, set against the backdrop of a beautiful, unconquerable
Africa
."--From publisher.
