A graphic novel blending a family tale, an adventure story, journalism, and a biopic, all with a healthy dose of British humor.

At her father’s funeral, one of Olivia’s uncles tells her that she is the descendant of Sir Richard Francis Burton, the British explorer who discovered the source of the Nile in the 19th century.
From London to Trieste to Zanzibar, and then finally on to Rwanda where the Nile originates, Olivia walks in the footsteps of her hypothetical ancestor: extravagant adventurer enamored of Indian and Middle Eastern civilizations.
Olivia’s journey will be full of unforgettable acquaintances, disappointments and solitude.
