Review: I brought back two copies of this book from South Africa, and have urged it upon many friends. Everyone says it is one of the most beautiful pieces they have read in years. The reader becomes enmeshed in more "circles" than than you will ever know. You will understand more about elephants and people who love forest and animals than you ever thought possible.

Rating:
Summary: Lyrical, complex and compelling

Summary: an absolute jewel
Review: It is very rare to happen upon such a beautifully written story. It has such a bittersweet ending. It appears to be very historically accurate. I have already ordered Fiela's Child. It appears that that is the only other book from this gifted author available in English. You won't be disappointed and neither will the many friends that you pass the book on to.
