The Atlas of Forgotten Places**One of Bustle's top novels published in July 2017, and featured in the San Diego Union Tribune**
Two women from different worlds, bound in a quest to save their loved ones. After a long career as an aid worker, Sabine Hardt has retreated to her native Germany for a quieter life. But when her American niece Lily disappears while volunteering in Uganda, possibly investigating the illegal ivory trade, Sabine must return to places and memories she once thought buried in order to find her. In Uganda, Rose Akulu—haunted by a troubled past with the Lord’s Resistance Army and a family torn apart by war—is distressed when her lover Ocen vanishes without a trace. Side by side, Sabine and Rose unravel the tangled threads that tie Lily and Ocen’s lives together, ultimately discovering that the truth of their loved ones’ disappearance is inescapably entwined to the secrets the two women carry. From the streets of Kampala to the wilderness of Garamba National Park, The Atlas of Forgotten Places spans geographies and generations to lay bare the stories that connect us all. |
