Reviews for Battle for the President's Elephants
Enchanting indeed
I loved this book. Time permitting, I would have read it a third time instead of just twice. I know I would have enjoyed it just as much another time through. That, I will squirrel away for later. The author's descriptions are wildly vivid and you are magically transported right there to Hwange in Zimbabwe. There are giggles to be had as well. The story of Willa, the wild African elephant that Sharon Pincott is kissing on the book's backcover, will stay with you long after you finish reading it. Despite the upsets (that you can only sympathise with and shake your head at) you wish you had this unusual and rewarding life, even knowing that you would probably manage to survive it only for a few weeks. Yes, I say, enchanting indeed! by Francesca Tyler
