Françoise never expected to find herself responsible for a herd of elephants with a troubled past. But when the chic Parisienne fell in love with South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony, everything changed. Together they founded a game reserve but, after Lawrence's death, Françoise faced a daunting future of running Thula Thula without him.
Almost immediately poachers attacked their rhinos, their security team wouldn't take orders from a woman and the authorities were threatening to cull their beloved elephant family. On top of that, the herd's feisty new matriarch Frankie didn't like her. Could Françoise protect the herd, build the wildlife rescue centre she'd dreamed of and make peace with Frankie?
Filled with extraordinary animals - from a lost baby elephant to orphaned rhinos, and a hippo afraid of water - and the humans who dedicate their lives to saving them, An Elephant in my Kitchen is a heart-warming and moving read.
