When the Spanish Influenza epidemic finds its way to her remote village, Rachel’s life is turned upside down because her parents contract the disease and die as they care for the native Africans in the hospital her father built. Listening for Lions is the story of Rachel Sheridan, the young teenage daughter of a missionary doctor and teacher, who lives in British East Africa (modern day Kenya) around the time of World War I. When I saw Listening for Lions at the library last week, I knew it would be a winner, and I was right! I am glad to renew my acquaintance with Whelan’s works and I look forward to reading more. As I mentioned in an earlier post, Gloria Whelan is an author whose books I have really enjoyed in the past.
