When botanist Maddy Bellani is asked to travel to Brazil to collect rare seeds from a plant that could cure cancer, she reluctantly agrees. Securing the seeds would be a coup for the seed bank in Cape Town where she works, but Brazil is the country of her birth and home to her estranged father.Her mission is challenging, despite the help of alluring local plant expert ZeÌ. The plant specimen is elusive, its seeds guarded by a sect wary of outsiders. Maddy must also find her way in a world influenced by unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies and the selfish motives of others.Entrancing and richly imagined, The Seed Thief is a modern love story with an ancient history, a tale that moves from flora of Table Mountain to the heart of Afro-Brazilian spiritualism."--Publisher's description: http://www.randomstruik.co.za/books/the-seed-thief-/5858. 650 0 $a Botanists $z South Africa $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Rare plants $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Man-woman relationships $v Fiction. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107175 650 7 $a Botanists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836862 650 7 $a Man-woman relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007080 650 7 $a Rare plants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01090176 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423787 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026339 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171221054641.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3B280B4EE61E11E7AB1B6A7197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
