"From 1972 to 1990, Alexandra Fuller grew up on farms in the remotest regions of Africa. While her father was away for long stretches of time, fighting on the side of the white government in the Rhodesian civil war, her mother managed the farming work, with a fierceness and passion fuelled by a love of life and an almost illogical love for Africa."
"Alexandra Fuller's honest and unsentimental memoir of her childhood spent in the middle of the Rhodesian Civil War of the 1970s."

"The author remembers her African childhood with candor. This is a diary of an unruly life, between 1972 and 1990, filled with laughter though there was little to celebrate. While her father was at war, the children were growing up to be resilient and self-sufficient, brought up by their mother, farming in Southern and Central Africa."@en
