Elephant Walk: The Brigandshaw Chronicles Book 2 - Tapa blanda

Críticas

Brigandshaw Brilliance - I want a mini series!

Peter Rimmer has captured the link between the old colonialism of the African continent and the wild, new and vibrant emerging continent, linking the history back to European stories that I know. He has shown up the craziness of the world we came from, the forced moral fibre and the flawed value system that existed for hundreds of years and is still manifesting itself today. Elephant Walk is a great read and kept me away from my sleep for three days. I wish you could write faster.

Africa's Storyteller

WOW, I've read everything released by Peter Rimmer and hope he moves on with releasing the next in the series...
His scope of the political machinations in Africa are awesome and insightful. He has shown himself to be my "next" Wilbur Smith, so write on.... Sir! Enjoy Africa for all of us.

Love it

Historical fictional novel which encapsulates the First World War, England, Africa the English upper and lower classes. Loved it. If you enjoy Wilbur Smith you will enjoy this but without the real gore. Definitely recommend.

Reseña del editor

The sweeping saga of the Brigandshaws continues. From the elegant drawing rooms of England at war to the beauty of Africa and the wild deadly diamond fields of the diamond coast.

After completing his Oxford University degree, Harry Brigandshaw spends the summer at Purbeck Manor in the heart of the Dorset countryside and home to his friend Robert St Clair. Whilst there, Harry meets Lucinda, Robert’s sister, who falls in love with him but he doesn’t reciprocate her love. During a day out shooting, Harry receives a telegram from Africa and he must return home immediately. Together, Harry and Robert set sail for Rhodesia.

The years pass and 1914 approaches with England declaring war on Germany. With the war in full swing and those closest to Harry enlisting in the army, Harry’s brother is killed in action. Devastated, Harry enlists for vengeance. As he moves up in the ranks, a past acquaintance from Oxford is also making a name for himself - the invincible killing machine, Fishy Braithwaite. As the war wages on, Harry is dealt several more blows as he attempts to stay alive and keep his family safe, but can he? With danger brewing around every corner, it is a formidable task. 

ELEPHANT WALK is the second book of the Brigandshaw Chronicles with ECHOES FROM THE PAST being the first.
