It is 1943. Join Elf, an intrepid grandmother, on her secret
journey of over 6,814 miles up the African continent. Based on her
personal journals, Crossing the Rift recounts her remarkable tale
of travelling alone as a sixty-four-year-old English woman, braving
the dangers of World War II, and challenging terrain, to rejoin her
unsuspecting husband in Palestine. Along the way, Elf encounters a
diverse array of fellow travellers, and her journey by various
modes of overland transport provides a vivid glimpse into a bygone
era. This captivating memoir is enriched by detailed maps and
striking period photographs that bring both Elf’s story and the
beauty of Africa to life.
