Elefanti in giardino è un libro di memorie, la rievocazione di colori e immagini, di spazi sconfinati e di lontananze esotiche. In queste pagine Kuki Gallmann condivide con i lettori la storia delle sue movimentate vicende personali: dall'infanzia italiana al trasferimento e alle vicissitudini in Kenya. Il mondo scomparso della campagna veneta si fonde con la magia dell'Africa, mentre il racconto si snoda attraverso paesaggi e atmosfere mozzafiato. La memoria e l'immaginazione sono libere di correre sotto la spinta leggera di un colore, un odore o il fruscio prodotto da un animale che sposta furtivo.
