A warm, uplifting companion novel to Kunene Fire.
Years after the death of Izan Bloem, his daughters Elize and Sandra finally make the journey they have postponed for too long: a trip to Namibia, the country of their father’s birth, to find his grave and understand the life he left behind.
Joined by their teenage sons, they travel north through a country their father had loved deeply—but in the Kaokoveld, a single mistake leaves them stranded, burned, frightened, and stripped of every comfort they brought with them from England.
Rescued and taken to Ombari, they find not only safety, but the people who still carry Izan’s memory: Toivo, with his dry wisdom; Martha, who runs the clinic with hard-earned authority; Kambonde and the anti-poaching teams; and Tjipura, whose small son bears Izan’s name.
As bureaucracy delays their return, the family is drawn into the life of the outpost and begins to understand that Izan’s true legacy was never only a grave, but the lives he changed and the responsibilities he left behind.
Tender, funny, dangerous, and deeply restorative, The Well at Ombari is a novella about fathers and daughters, grief and inheritance, and the discovery that love can continue to do good long after loss.
