In the end he does not find what he apparently needs and goes home.
Aggrieved, worn-out, all but defeated he longs to set things straight. Following the promptings of his unforgettable inner voice- I want, I want, I want -our hero finds himself in Africa. Henderson makes his way into a mythic sun-baked interior, where among exotic tribes he finds fellow seekers, teachers and soulmates.
