The second of what Fuller's mother calls her "Awful Books" about her family in Africa, this one is specifically about her mother, self-styled "Nicola Fuller of Central Africa". Settling in Africa after the war, the Fullers moved from country to country according to political changes. Told by Alexandra, the story is both funny and sad, full of quirky insights and examples of courage and fortitude, but how does her mother feel about this invasion of her private life?
*Ed's Note: The first "Awful book" was Let's Not Go to the Dogs Tonight
