Overview
āThis is how we carried out of Africa the poor broken body of...David Livingstone, so that he could be borne across the sea and buried in his own land.ā
So begins Petina Gappahās āsearingā¦poignantā (Star Tribune, Minneapolis) novel of exploration and adventure in 19th-century Africaāthe captivating story of the African men and women who carried explorer and missionary Dr. Livingstoneās body, 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 doctorās sharp-tongued cook, and Jacob Wainwright, his rigidly pious secretary, this is a āpowerful novel, beautifully toldā (Jesmyn Ward, author of Sing, Unburied, Sing) that encompasses all of the hypocrisy of slavery and colonizationāthe hypocrisy of humanityāwhile celebrating resilience, loyalty, and love.
