In 2001, Sharon Pincott traded her privileged life as a high-flying corporate executive to start a new one with the Presidential Elephants of Zimbabwe. She was unpaid, untrained, self-funded, and arrived with the starry-eyed idealism of most foreigners during early encounters with Africa. For 13 years - the worst in Zimbabwe's volatile history - this intrepid Australian woman lived in the Hwange bush fighting for the lives of these elephants, forming an extraordinary and life-changing bond with them.

Now remote from Robert Mugabe's rule, Sharon writes without restraint sequentially through the years, taking us on a truly unforgettable ride of hope and heartbreak, profound love and loss, adversity and new beginnings. This is the haunting, all-encompassing story we've been waiting for.

Powerfully moving, sometimes disturbing, and often very funny, Elephant Dawn is a celebration of love, courage, and honor amongst our greatest land mammals. With resilience beyond measure, Sharon earns the supreme right to call them family.

got about 75% through and the book became garbled, stopping and starting every second. none of my other books do this.

A great read, but spoiled by mispronunciation of many words, some to the point of being barely recognisable . Place names . I lived in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe for 27years so should not have failed to know “wongay” was in fact Hwange .

Great book spoiled

A very strange narration and narrated again by a person who really has no idea about Southern African accents. I had hoped for a more detailed understanding of the lives of elephants, not some extended casual diary.

Disappointed

I cried and laughed at this book. This book is inspiring. Our wildlife needs Sharon. Heroes with foreign passports and courageous able to stand up to corruption. Thank you for an amazing book that made me long for Africa, my home.
