'A beautiful love story between humans and the majestic elephants' - Jo Malone, Daily Express
Françoise Malby-Anthony never expected to find herself responsible for a herd of elephants with a troubled past. A chic Parisienne, her life changed forever when she fell in love with South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony. Together they founded a game reserve but after Lawrence's death, Françoise faced the daunting responsibility of running Thula Thula without him. 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.
In this heart-warming and moving book, Françoise describes how she fought to protect the herd and to make her dream of building a wildlife rescue centre a reality. She found herself caring for a lost baby elephant who turned up at her house, and offering refuge to traumatized orphaned rhinos, and a hippo called Charlie who was scared of water. As she learned to trust herself, she discovered she'd had Frankie wrong all along . . .
Filled with extraordinary animals and the humans who dedicate their lives to saving them, An Elephant in My Kitchen by Françoise Malby-Anthony is a captivating and gripping read.

Lawrence Anthony‘s widow Feancoise Malby-Anthony tells her story at Thula Thula and how she managed to keep her dream as well as her late husband‘s vision alive!
For each and every one who is interested and cares about animals this is a must read. But i would advise you to first read Lawrence Anthony‘s book „the elephant whisperer“ because then you understand his wife‘s perspective and some of the stories a bit better. But this book itself is a very important one and the struggle Thula Thula has to deal with is the harsh reality when we talk about conservation.
