kellamina 's review for:
This was a Sharon McMahon book club pick or else I probably wouldn’t have read it. Having said that, it’s very much in the same vein as The Invention of Nature, and I’m glad I kept requesting it on Libby till I finished. I listened to the audiobook and it worked well for me.
It turns out that I like novelized history with larger-than-life characters, grand quests, and successes and failures both equally spectacular. This is about the search for the source of the Nile, and in the end, the actual confirmation of that fact was painted as completely anticlimactic. The real story is, as usual, in the character of the major players, their relationships, and what can be learned from the journey.
