Fuller (Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight) follows her two previous memoirs about her childhood during the Rhodesian wars with this third memoir about the dissolution of her marriage and her return to Africa. The doomed union is traced from the couple's Zambian courtship to its end in the wake of Fuller's husband's near-fatal horse-riding accident in the United States. Fuller's family again plays a large role as the author reflects on the circumstances that shaped both her personality and her expectations for her life. Fans of Fuller's previous work will enjoy the opportunity to revisit her eccentric family and learn more about the unconventional lifestyle of Zambian farmers.

--------------------------------

Very enjoyable read. Good humor as well.

Murcielago: A manga about a lesbian who was once a violent serial killer who decides to work for police instead, killing the most vile of criminals.

Blood and gore? Yes. Explicit sex scenes? Yeah.

10/10 would recommend.

Before we celebrated our 1st anniversary over the weekend, my sweetheart and I agreed to bring something we have read that helped us to better identify what we did not want in a relationship. Interestingly, we both brought the same book (featured above).

We wept together, bonding more closely with each other, because we both see that it was no mystery how we came to find each other: Both of us consciously made informed choices about each other.

We highly recommend this book.

History and architecture.....two of my favorite things. Very engaging and informative thus far.
