Olive the Lionheart: Lost Love, Imperial Spies, and One Woman's Journey to the Heart of Africa by Brad Ricca
2.0
Oh, how I wanted to love this book. The cover is beautiful... and the idea of a woman in the early 1900's exploring Africa and doing things on her own. I read about 20% and could not go on any longer. The family history was great, but the writing style was hard to read. It could not quite keep my attention.... it went from a letter entry to another random thought... and then a different style of writing then. It did not seem cohesive and perhaps I would have enjoyed reading about Olive if written by someone else?
