Born in England in 1969, Alexandra Fuller moved to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) with her family when she was two years old. After the civil war in Zimbabwe in 1981 the family moved to Malawi, then to Zambia.  Fuller followed up her acclaimed memoir Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight with a non-fiction account of her friendship with a white farmer and veteran of the Rhodesian war.
