The Big River (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739256517)

Guido has two passions: The big river and women. Only one can win...

It's 1964 and confirmed bachelor Guido Martelli lives in the Zambezi Valley on a sugar estate. Born in Italy, he's lived in Rhodesia for ten years and his passion for the river is like no other. Except for the fairer sex...

Alongside his friend Kango, Guido has learned all he needs to know about the bush, the river, and prowling predators. His prowess in hunting and his knowledge are legendary. But he has a secret which his new boss will use as leverage against him...

After several affairs with women of his acquaintance, Guido meets a girl who questions everything he thinks, knows, and wants. His boss, however, sets out to make his life a misery.

Peter Rimmer's celebrated love of Africa shines through this telling of The Big River. It is a story of desire, and a quest to find answers to the meaning of life. Answers we all long for.
