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--the hypocrisy at the core of the human heart--while celebrating resilience, loyalty, and love"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 $a Livingstone, David, 1813-1873 $x Fiction. 650 $a Livingstone, David, 1813-1873 650 $a Africa $x Fiction. $x 19th century $x Fiction. 650 $a Africa. 650 $a 1800-1899 650 $a Large type books 650 $a Biographical fiction. 650 $a Historical fiction. 941 $a 9 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611020049.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012012512.0 952 $l LEPI975 $d 20231006012645.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220402010446.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220402010232.0 952 $l EWPB745 $d 20200312011410.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200221010349.0 952 $l BKPC251 $d 20200220153154.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20200213010156.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7D7D66184E2E11EAB49C4E7297128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
