Stunning childhood memoir - if you like Andrea Ashworth or Barbara Kingsolver you'll love this.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 is eight, the war is in full swing; her parents veer from being determined farmers to being blind drunk whilst the author and her sister, the only survivors of five children, alternately take up target practice and sing Rod Stewart numbers from sunbleached rocks.Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight is about living through a civil war; it's about losing children and losing that war - and realising that the side you have been fighting for may well be the 'wrong' one. Unflinching, beautifully written, and, at times, extremely funny, Alexandra Fuller's book is one of the most honest memoirs of a childhood to be found in contemporary writing.'A classic is born . . . Like Anne Frank's diary,. this work captures the tone of a very young person caught up in her own small world as she witnesses a far larger historical event.'PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
