Alexandra Fuller, inexplicably nicknamed "Bobo," recounts her unusual childhood in Rhodesia, Malawi and Zambia, all somewhat dicey places to be white and English during the 1970s and 1980s. I had a difficult time putting the book down -- having never met anyone with such a bizarre, unconventional upbringing, I was by turns endlessly fascinated, frequently disturbed and unintentionally(?) amused. The scene with the missionaries had me laughing out loud. A worthy read if you're looking to read about life experiences completely foreign to your own.
