Now The Earth Is Scorched By Drought, And The Mutilated Bodies Of Family And Friends Lie Scattered On The Ground, Shot Down By Ivory Hunters. Nothingnot The Once Familiar Terrain, Or The Ageold Rhythms Of Life, Or Even Memory Itselfseems Reliable Anymore.

And So Begins A Quest Through Africa'S Vast And Perilous Plainsuntil At Last The Survivors Face A Decisive Trial Of Loyalty And Courage.In The White Bone, Barbara Gowdy Performs A Feat Of Imagination Virtually Unparalleled In Modern Fiction. Plunged Into An Alien Landscape, We Orient Ourselves In Elephant Time, Elephant Space, Elephant Consciousness And Begin To Feel, As Gowdy Puts It, 'What It Would Be Like To Be That Big And Gentle, To Be That Imperiled, And To Have That Prodigious Memory.'
