Fuller, known to friends and family as Bobo, grew up on several farms in southern and central Africa. But Don\'t Let\'s Go to the Dogs Tonight is more than a survivor\'s story: It is the story of one woman\'s unbreakable bond with a continent and the people who inhabit it, a portrait lovingly realized and deeply felt. A Book Sense Selection. Photos. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - A worthy heir to Isak Dinesen and Beryl Markham, Alexandra Fuller shares visceral memories of her childhood in Africa, and of her headstrong, unforgettable mother.

Alexandra Fuller writes poignantly about a girl becoming a woman and a writer against a backdrop of unrest, not just in her country but in her home.
