Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness

Alexandra Fuller revisits the Africa of her childhood in COCKTAIL HOUR UNDER THE TREE OF FORGETFULNESS. At the heart of this story is Fuller's mother, Nicola, who is a funny, terrifying, and utterly unself-conscious woman. We follow her through her honeymoon with Fuller's father, Tim, and through their moves across the African continent, running from war and loss of unspeakable magnitude. Alexandra Fuller is the author of DON'T LET'S GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT, among others
