The Atlas of Forgotten Places
by Jenny D. Williams
The Atlas of Forgotten Places (11/4/2020)
The Atlas of Forgotten places is an account of two women, Sabine and Rose, who led completely separate lives and had nothing to do with each other, or so they thought. They were completely unaware of each other’s existent but had something in common – they both had a loved one whom they have lost contact with. Sabine lost contact with her niece who left for another country to do volunteer work. Rose lost contact with her husband who ran away after they had a very bad fight. Both women came to realise that they had disappeared together, and on their search for their missing loved ones, they landed up in dangerous territory. This search also led them to meet Joseph Kony, the leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). This book follows the journey of these two women in search of their loved ones, and also highlighted the unique stories of each individual character. Many hidden leadership issues can be identified within the stories, from inequality to government issues and even the leadership of the LRA. The book opens up many ideas that are not talked about every day.
