Über diesen Titel

In 1972, when Alexandra Fuller was two years old, her parents finally abandoned their English life and returned to what was then Southern Rhodesia and to the beginning of a civil war. By the time she was eight, the war was in full swing.

Her parents veered from being determined farmers to being blind drunk, whilst Alexandra and her sister, the only survivors of five children, alternately take up target practice and sing Rod Stewart songs from sun bleached rocks. This memoir is about living through a civil war; it is about losing children and losing that war, and realising that the side you have been fighting for may well be the wrong one.

Kritikerstimmen

"A classic is born in this tender, intensely moving and even delightful journey through a white African girl's childhood." ( Publishers Weekly)
"This was no ordinary childhood, and it makes a riveting story thanks to an extraordinary telling." ( School Library Journal)
"In this powerful debut, Fuller fully succeeds in memorializing the beauty of each desert puddle and each African summer night sky while also recognizing that beauty can lie hidden in the faces of those who have crossed her path. Highly recommended." ( Library Journal)
"An honest, moving portrait of one family struggling to survive tumultuous times." ( Booklist)

I thoroughly enjoyed the audiobook and loved the so typical words only spoken in Africa -sounds and words from my own childhood. I am sure a lot will be strange for those non African however the beautiful descriptions of the fauna and flora and the landscape are we'll brought across and paint a vivid picture. Had to laugh at times yet also several sad passages. The struggle to live in remote parts of Africa and with the corruption and politics is well portrayed.

Just as it is - life in Africa in the 70"s and 80"s
