A Year in the Wild: A Novel
About this ebook
Angus and Hugh MacNaughton are brothers who have loathed each other since Hugh bit Angus at a family picnic years ago. In a last-ditch attempt to forge a brotherly bond, their parents secure them jobs at the exclusive, five-star Sasekile Private Game Lodge in the heart of the African bushveld.
A Year in the Wild, an international bestseller set in South Africa, chronicles the uproarious and cringe-worthy tales of Angus and Hugh through their weekly emails to their sister Julia. With an eclectic mix of over-demanding and adulterous guests, a dash of eccentric lodge staff, and the breathtaking beauty of the African wilderness, conflict and disaster are inevitable.
Prepare for a sidesplitting, sarcastic adventure as bitter rivalries and outrageous situations unfold in this hilarious story of two brothers trying to survive each other in the unforgiving wilds of a luxury safari lodge.
