THE EPIC STORY OF DR. LIVINGSTONE'S FINAL JOURNEY AND THE UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTERS WHO CARRIED HIM OUT OF AFRICA

Petina Gappah is the winner of the Guardian First Book Award and has been shortlisted for the Lost Angeles Times Book Prize, the PEN America Open Book Award, the Orwell Prize, and the Women's Prize for Fiction, among others.

"This is how we carried out of Africa the poor broken body of Bwana Daudi, the Doctor, David Livingstone, so that he could be borne across the sea and buried in his own land." So begins Petina Gappah's powerful novel of exploration and adventure in nineteenth-century Africa--the captivating story of the loyal men and women who carried explorer and missionary Dr. Livingstone's body, his papers and maps, fifteen hundred miles across the continent of Africa, so his remains could be returned home to England and his work preserved there. Narrated by Halima, the doctor's sharp-tongued cook, and Jacob Wainwright, a rigidly pious freed slave, this is a story that encompasses all of the hypocrisy of slavery and colonization--they hypocrisy at the core of the human heart--while celebrating resilience, loyalty, and love.
