Larger than Life is a short story about Alice who lives in Africa researching Elephants in their natural habitat.
While walking around the Safari grounds, Alice comes across a herd of elephants which have been killed by poachers. But not all of them are dead – there is a baby elephant who has just lost her mother. Alice decides to adopt the baby elephant and subsequently calls her Lesego. Alice works with Lesego, with the help of a ranger, to help her in the aftermath of the tragedy she witnessed and the loss of her mother.
This is a lovely story of love between Lesego and Alice and the relationship between Alice and her mother which is very strained, as well as the relationship which develops between Alice and Neo, the ranger who helps her in raising Lesego.
Larger than Life is a prequel to Leaving Time which will hopefully tell us what happens to Alice, her mother, Neo, and Lesego.
