Verdict: carrot
This book, for me, is ultimately about identity – how we see ourselves and our place in the world as we grow older. Alexandra Fuller writes so beautifully – despite the fact that she had written several rejected novels before turning to memoir and achieving such literary success.
Leaving Before the Rains Come is as much about Alexandra’s parents as it is about herself. Her father “Tim Fuller of No Fixed Abode” is a man she adores, and her mother, a woman with her own demons, has such a zest for life no one could resist her for a moment. Her mother’s advice “save your tears for the big stuff.”
