Description
Mara, a young Australian, marries a big-game hunter who lives on the spectacular grasslands of East Africa. Three years later, their safari lodge is in trouble - and so, too, is their marriage. When a Hollywood movie crew descends to film on location, Mara knows this could be the lodge's salvation. She thrives on her sudden responsibility and independence, but she also finds herself dangerously attracted to the film's leading man. From an internationally bestselling author comes this show more poignant love story set against the breathtaking backdrop of Tanzania. The Hunter's Wife is a powerful and moving story of a young woman's heartfelt struggle to reconcile duty and desire. show lessTags

A well-written "forbidden love" love story with some depth. I enjoyed the 1960s Tanzanian setting and local culture as much as the story itself. Very enjoyable story, although the ending was a little too trite for my liking especially when the rest of the novel had been so interesting.
A well-researched and enjoyable story, as much for the insights into the world of filmmaking as for the African lifestyle and culture.
Awesome book, really enjoyed it, her other books are great also.
