Elephant Walk

The Brigandshaw Chronicles, Book 2

De: Peter Rimmer

Narrado por: Alex Bhat

In the shadow of empire, love and loyalty collide.

When Oxford geology graduate Harry Brigandshaw arrives at Purbeck Manor in 1907, he brings with him the sun-scorched memories of Africa and dreams of mineral exploration.

The ancient estate of the St Clair family—once lords of all they surveyed, now reduced to "genteel poverty"—becomes the backdrop for Harry’s journey into the heart of a fading aristocracy.

The striking beauty of fifteen-year-old Lucinda St Clair captivates Harry, while the tragic figure of Richard, the damaged heir, serves as a reminder of the cost of preserving bloodlines. As Harry becomes immersed in the eccentric household—complete with a pig-obsessed baron, a tipsy grandmother, and the mysterious Great Aunt Nut—he finds himself questioning where he truly belongs.

As the British Empire declines and Africa calls him back, Harry must reconcile his colonial roots with his growing attachment to this peculiar family. Amid moonlit walks and eerie sounds in the night, Harry discovers that the wilderness of the human heart may be the most challenging terrain he will ever explore.

Amidst England’s fading aristocracy, Harry must navigate love, duty, and a world far from home. Elephant Walk is the second book in the Brigandshaw Chronicles, where family, adventure, and destiny intertwine.

Love it

Just finished the 2nd in the series. I love the books. The characters are believable and you travel with them between England and Rhodesia in Africa. There is so much history you didn't know about and you just want to go ahead and get the next book to see what happens to t he characters.

History

Good story but so many different characters it was hard to keep them all straight. Not as good as the first book of series.

Great series

I’m really enjoying this series of books. There is a lot of suspense as to what will happen next.

over the top saga!

Rimmer has a command of language seldom seen in contemporary writers. It is a pleasure to live among his characters and their challenges.

Great read!

Very detailed account of the First World War from a great perspective. Ready for the next one.
