From Jeffrey Gettleman, a Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times
journalist, comes a passionate, revealing story about finding love
and finding a calling, set against one of the most turbulent
regions in the world. A seasoned war correspondent, Jeffrey
Gettleman has covered every major conflict over the past twenty
years, from Afghanistan to Iraq to the Congo. For the past decade,
he has served as the East Africa bureau chief for the New York
Times, fulfilling a teenage dream. At nineteen, Gettleman fell in
love, twice. On a do-it-yourself community service trip in college,
he went to East Africa-a terrifying, exciting, dreamlike part of
the world in the throes of change that imprinted itself on his
imagination and on his heart. But around that same time he also
fell in love with a fellow Cornell student-the brightest,
classiest, most principled woman he'd ever met. To say they were
opposites was an understatement. She became a criminal lawyer in
America; he hungered to return to Africa. For the next decade he
would be torn between these two abiding passions. A sensually
rendered coming-of-age story in the tradition of Barbarian Days,
Love, Africa is a tale of passion, violence, far-flung adventure,
tortuous long-distance relationships, screwing up, forgiveness,
parenthood, and happiness that explores the power of finding
yourself in the most unexpected of places.
