A superb novel of a travelling library, the Kenyan landscape - and
the threat to a fragile way of life. Perfect for fans of Alexander
McCall Smith Deep in the heart of the dusty Kenyan desert a train
of heavily laden camels wind their way slowly through the bush. The
camels are not carrying grain or medical supplies, but books of
every imaginable variety. Into the remote nomadic settlement of
Mididima comes an unexpected wealth of literature - tips for
surviving an avalanche, the adventures of Tom Sawyer, vegetarian
cookbooks - and all are eagerly devoured under the blazing Kenyan
sunshine. Volunteer Fi Sweeney, her heart filled with passion and
possibilities, is surprised to discover that the project divides
friends and neighbours. To Kanika, who reads every book she can lay
her hands on, the Camel Bookmobile brings hope. But to some it
represents the inevitable destruction of a fragile way of life ...
