African terror!
The lioness: A Novel by Chris Bohjalian
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
1964. An African safari in the Serengeti area for newly wedded Hollywood star Katie Barstow, and her guests, turns into a nightmare of kidnapping, terror and death in the vast hinterland jungle of Northern Tanzania. The guides and porters are not immune to the horrors endured.
Bohjalian gives some insight into some of the politics of the time is presented.
International politics and money play a part here, but it’s the individual’s stories, told over this time of tribulation, revealing who they are, that intrigues. How the entourage came to be here, how they relate to each other, how they respond to the grave, often deadly situations they confront, all combine to give the novel voice. This loosely knit group of people, who’d named themselves the Lions of Hollywood, who were part of Katie’s pride, truly discover themselves.
A bloody thriller embedded in the African landscape.
