The Lioness - Chris Bohjalian
He read
In the 1960s, a Hollywood star, her husband, and some invited guests go on a Safari for her honeymoon where they encounter Russian mercenaries. Told from various POVs, the book is well written and gives a good sense of place with great descriptions of Tanzania.
The story rang true in many instances, but in others, it didn’t. Some of the animals engagements with humans I thought a bit fantastical and some of the action between humans strained credulity.
I enjoyed the story, even though I had to suspend belief at times, but I guess that is what fiction is all about!
