To escape the brutality of Idi Amin´s reign of terror, two African families are forced to leave their beloved tea plantation, Rose Inish. Torn from their home and each other, they travel to distant lands in search of a better future. Spanning three continents, The Lure of the Lion is an intriguing two-generational tale of devastation, hope, and never-ending love. It presents both the beauty and horrors of Africa, while never losing sight of its magnificent wildlife.
Reviews: "A vibrant. original saga of romance and deception . . . Like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie´s ´Half of a Yellow Sun´ . . . Fonté´s tale finds its strongest voice in its historical context."
