Unconventional memoir of self-discovery and courage.
"Leaving Before the Rains Come" would appeal to readers who enjoy memoirs that are unconventional, raw and honest, as it's a memoir of self-discovery and courage. Alexandra Fuller is a child of the Rhodesian wars who struggled to come to terms with her past, her family, and the disintegration of her own marriage. The book is a breathtaking achievement filled with grace and intelligence, and is an unforgettable story of sorrow grounded in the tragic grandeur and rueful joy only to be found in Africa.
