Over the course of more than two centuries, generations of his family have risen and fallen with the tides of history. Leon, too, has experienced his own share of triumph and pain. In the wake of his beloved wife's death, the renowned big-game hunter is raising his young daughter, Saffron, alone in colonial Kenya. In the 1920s, the continent of Africa is a dangerous place. As Leon attempts to navigate the murky political waters of this most exquisitely beautiful and wildest of lands, his daughter grows into an independent and headstrong young woman bound for a far different life in Britain, as a student at Oxford. But over the course of more than two decades, spies, traitors, and adventurers will dog their every step. As the fitful years of peace lead to the outbreak of the Second World War--involving Africa once more--Leon and Saffron must fight for their survival...and that of their illustrious family." -- $c Back cover 650 0 $a Courtney family (Fictitious characters) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hunting guides $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Kenya $x History $y 1895-1963 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Action and adventure fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Literature & Fiction. $2 local 655 7 $a Action & Adventure. $2 local 655 7 $a Historical. $2 local 700 1 $a Churchill, David, $d 1959- $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l ACPD686 $d 20181115010039.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BBA95D96C3AD11E8A3E6333597128E48 994 $a C0 $b JUHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
