When English medical student Penny Drayton chooses an elective term abroad, she holds high hopes of helping the beleaguered people of Uganda.
Upon arriving at the bush mission hospital in Kisimba, Penny soon forges a place for herself in the small medical community there. She also quickly learns how different—and difficult—practicing medicine is in a place fraught with political turmoil and plagued by scarcity.
But it isn’t all work for Penny. Nicholas Sottile, an American epidemiologist and hero of the Vietnam War, catches Penny’s eye—and she almost instantly finds herself swept up by his charisma and intelligence. Yet despite the powerful attraction between them, Penny suspects Nick harbors secrets beneath his charming exterior.
With a political coup looming on the horizon and violence penetrating even the walls of the hospital, Penny prepares to return to her studies in London, even though it means saying good-bye to a place and people she has come to love.
But with the country collapsing around her and a ruthless dictator seizing power, Penny realizes she might not survive to make it back to England—let alone reunite with the man she loves.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Not Just a Love Story By SG Contrary to its cover, Kisimba is not your run-of-the-mill romance novel. While the book does include a love story, the plot is much deeper and provides a unique perspective on what it was like to be a female medical student in a male-dominated field during the early 1970s. For instance, imagine being required to wear stockings and skirts to class! This story also touches upon an important time in Uganda's troubling political history and how terrifying it must have been to be there as a citizen, much less as a visitor volunteering one’s time to provide medical care to its people.In addition to enjoying the story, I gained some insight and understanding into what my own mother's experience might have been as a medical student and medical aid worker in Africa around this same time, given that she has never discussed this difficult time in her life with me. I strongly suggest you give this book a try if you enjoy books largely based on medical and/or political factual events - sprinkled with a little romance on the side.

The author has written a book that has something for everyone. I would love to see what happens to the heroine and hero in the future. It is a book that kept me reading to find out what happened next. Great book by a new author.

This book has all the elements of a love story but set against the African jungle it brings a refreshing tale of romance. It is an awakening of a young woman's independence and sexuality. Bonus...you get a crash course in medicine! I couldn't put the book down!
