Details
'The most magical book about the African bush since Born Free' Daily Mail Francoise never expected to find herself responsible for a herd of elephants with a troubled past. A chic Parisienne, her life changed forever when she fell in love with South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony. Together they founded a game reserve but after Lawrence's death, Francoise faced the daunting responsibility of running Thula Thula without him. Poachers attacked their rhinos, their security team wouldn't take orders from a woman and the authorities were threatening to cull their beloved elephant family. On top of that, the herd's feisty new matriarch Frankie didn't like her. In this heart-warming and moving book, Francoise describes how she fought to protect the herd and to make her dream of building a wildlife rescue centre a reality. She found herself caring for a lost baby elephant who turned up at her house, and offering refuge to traumatized orphaned rhinos, and a hippo called Charlie who was scared of water. As she learned to trust herself, she discovered she'd had Frankie wrong all along . . . Filled with extraordinary animals and the humans who dedicate their lives to saving them, An Elephant in My Kitchen is a captivating and gripping read.

You could prob get it on Amazon and read it before you go??

I might, but most likely much cheaper in SA

Here it is CHF 24.90 + postal exp. = R40.00 + postal exp.

You sure you exchange rate is correct???
I paid a few hundred R for my copy. Can't remember exact amount off hand.

But I do agree, books are a lot cheaper in SA than here in the UK.
The problem is that I always over do it and have to somehow get them home

The book has been printed in SA, I think and that's also the reason for the difference in price IMO

The publisher is UK though
