In her more bucolic follow-up to Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight, Fuller paints a loving portrait of her parents and the vicissitudes of farming as white settlers in an increasingly militant Africa. It is no knock on Fuller’s charming, low-key father to say that her mother, a wisecracking, Uzi-toting pioneer, runs off with the story in fabulous fashion.
