"Julian Smith had a fantastic fiancée and a lingering case of cold feet. His new book, Crossing the Heart of Africa (Harper Perennial), details his unusual route to facing down commitment-phobia: traveling 4,500 miles across Africa on the trail of a love-struck 19th-century British explorer. His gripping narrative combines old school adventurism with romantic memoir as Smith follows the outsized footsteps of Ewart Grogan, who walked from Cape Town to Cairo to impress his beloved’s skeptical stepfather."
