Following her dream to explore the African continent, join Lily Bascombe as she sets sail in 1895. The sea captain tells her of another white woman who has disappeared into the bush and gives Lily letters and tea should she ever find her. Along with her guides, Lily makes her way across the continent as a trader, soon finding herself obsessed with finding Miss Margery Poole. She sloshes through mosquito-ridden swamps, across raging rivers, and through endless entangled jungle paths until a piece of lace from an English corset leads her to the elusive Miss Poole, who, it appears, has shed more than her corset.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Beguin touches many themes in her novel through earnestly struggling Lily: spirituality, racism, romance, sexuality, feminism, and more. It's a serious book that does successful double duty as entertainment. --Lee Lynch
