True at First Light
True at First Light is a work by American novelist Ernest Hemingway released posthumously in 1999. It is designated a "fictional memoir" and describes a journey to Africa. It was edited by Patrick Hemingway who accompanied his father.
In the book, Hemingway goes on safari in Kenya in 1953, the time of the Mau Mau rebellion. His fourth wife Mary is determined to kill a certain black-maned lion, while he becomes intrigued by a beautiful African woman named Debba.
One Amazon.com editorial review describes it as "an extraordinary publishing event — a breathtaking final work".
