A surprisingly winsome memoir of a young man who grew up in one of South Africa's leading nature conservationist families. I grabbed the CD version of this book by happenstance, before a long road trip, and was hooked from the first chapter. It's an excellent memoir, excellent at the transition between hunting lodges to nature conservation in South Africa in the last 50 years. It also touches on South African politics, apartheid, male bonding and rituals, the spiritual transcendence of land and creation.

Highly recommended especially in audiobook form, read by the author.
