Good Karma Refuge for Elephants

Good Karma, Book 1

De: David Michie

Narrado por: David Michie

When Rob Forbes returns to his childhood home of Zimbabwe after decades away, he doesn't plan to stay long. A big job back in London awaits. But he finds himself questioning his priorities when he experiences the open-hearted exuberance of people who have so little compared to his wealthy colleagues; a powerful reconnection to the animals and wild places he loved as a child; and a growing friendship with Tibetan guru and neighbour Rinpoche.

What if it is possible to live with the same ineffable lightness as the intriguing lama? Why is the joy of ubuntu – community – felt in the most improbable places? And could an orphaned elephant calf change his life?

Reseñas de la Crítica

'Michie gifts readers with an intimate look at the people, customs and land of Africa, the "continent of light", in this enlightening novel.' (BookLife)

The Good Karma Refuge For Elephants is an absolute treasure.

It’s beautifully written, full of heart, and carries a message of loving compassion that lingers long after the last page.

David Michie's new book is a delight!

I couldn’t stop smiling. What beautiful new characters. Rob, Yogi Tarchin are among many others whose journey I look forward to sharing. It will fun to watch the baby Elli grow up and to enjoy the antics of her friends. I am confident that I have much learn from their journey in this mesmerizing country. The glossary of African terms and the focus on learning about this part of the world further emphasizes Michie’s role as a master teacher. I am always learning, and grateful for those learnings.

As an ardent admirer of HHC I was anxious about the move to this new focus. If you share this concern, please be reassured that The Good Karma Refuge for Elephants feels like the beginning of a rich new journey.
