THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
"Malby-Anthony offers a book of great inspiration and wide appeal to
nature-loving readers." --Publishers Weekly
A heart-warming sequel to the international bestseller The Elephant
Whisperer, by Lawrence Anthony's wife Françoise Malby-Anthony.
A chic Parisienne, Françoise never expected to find herself living on a
South African game reserve. But then she fell in love with
conservationist Lawrence Anthony and everything changed. After
Lawrence's death, Françoise 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, Françoise describes how she
fought to protect the herd and to make her dream of building a wildlife
rescue center 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.
