Why this must be read: Because I love the way this author slightly twists our perceptions of Bodie and Doyle. She has a unique take on their speech patterns – Bodie’s in particular - and a fabulous sense of time and place, which is why I picked this one as my last AU rec. It’s her vivid backdrops and landscapes I always fall in love with. Here, Africa, where Bodie meets – and rescues – a totally silent RD and ends up on the run with him, while he tries to keep them both alive and figure out just who this enigmatic man is. It’s to her immense credit as a writer that we find RD as intriguing as Bodie does, since she never has him utter a single word.
They fled until they drooped and dropped.
Then after they'd sucked at Bodie's canteen and panted desperately awhile, they ran some more.
They scrambled through montane patches and waded past muddy wallows, bandanas shrouding their faces to avoid inhaling the insect swarms. They clambered up rocky terrain, teetered on terrifying heights, slid down crumbling slopes, sometimes on their boot soles, occasionally on their knees or rumps. When gravity took over, they tumbled and fell, tearing their sleeves and trouser legs, bloodying their extremities.
Recovering from plunges, they plucked each other out of the scrub and ran again.
