Renowned feminist and intrepid travel journalist Ann Jones tells the story of her journey from one end of Africa to the other in search of the legendary Lovedu, a tribe ruled by a great rain-making queen and dedicated to the "feminine" ideals of compromise, cooperation, tolerance, and peace.
Setting out from Tangier in a battered old blue and yellow Land Rover, Jones and British photographer Kevin Muggleton face daunting challenges and painful encounters: shifting sand in the Sahara, severe food shortages in Mali, trigger-happy soldiers in Zaire, and a young girl in Mauritania who offers to give Jones her baby sister. Jones is perceptive, funny, moving, astute -- everything a good travel writer should be. You'll feel you're right there beside her, meeting the people, marveling at the physical beauty of the land, sharing the grand adventure.
