About this ebook
A zookeeper grows obsessed with a lioness in this 'muscular and lyrical' [The Telegraph] story about species loss, bereavement and the human desire for connection.
'Great characters … superb lyrical writing' The Literary Sofa
When a lion at a breeding park mauls an old school friend of his, Con must step in as the keeper of Sekhmet, the last remaining black-maned lioness in the world. In a Cape Town where fences keep people and wildlife apart, park officials and investors fret about their flagship big-cat project. And while Con grows steadily more bonded to his enigmatic charge, a cult of animal lovers seek to claim her as their own.
