Ms. Fuller reads from her book, Don't let's go to the dogs tonight, an autobiography portraying the life of a white African girl growing up in the midst of the Rhodesian civil war in the 1970s. She describes growing up on several farms in southern and central Africa. Her father enlisted in the war on the side of the white minority government and was often away fighting, leaving Alexandra, her mother, and her sisters to take on the rigorous daily farm work.

Book Details

First Sentence

"flickering yellow light and Van keeps the candle high, looking for snakes and scorpions and baboon spiders. Mum won't kill snakes because she says they help to keep the rats down (but she rescued a nest of baby mice from the barns and left them to grow in my cupboard, where they ate holes in the family's winter jerseys)."
