description: A blonde chic Parisienne Francoise never expected to find herself living on a South African game reserve. But when she fell in love with renowned conservationist Lawrence Anthony her life took an unexpected turn. Lawrence died in 2012 and Francoise was left to run Thula Thula without him even though she knew very little about conservation. She was short on money poachers were capitalizing on the chaos of Lawrences death and one of their elephants was charging Land Rovers on game drives and terrifying guests. How Francoise survived and Thula Thula thrived is beautifully described in this charming funny and poignant book. If you loved Lawrence's The Elephant Whisperer or just want to spend time with some remarkable animals then you wont want to miss this sparkling book.
