Description
As her marriage collapses, the author of the international best-seller Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight relearns the fearless ways of her father to find her own true north. Standing in the wreckage of her marriage, in her adopted country America, Alexandra Fuller revisits the continent she loves and finds in her father's harsh, simple, and uncompromising ways the key to her salvation. Casting a fresh eye on her parent's boisterous strengths and debilitating weaknesses, painting a vivid picture of America at the end of decades of false certainty and security, and revealing her Africa, vital and resilient, Leave Before the Rains Come is an astonishment - a memoir of such grace and intelligence, wit, and courage that only Alexandra Fuller could have written it.

Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight Part II
In the NY Times review of this book, Rachel Cusk writes that "divorce is a kind of anti-story: It is the spectacle of narrative breaking down, both personally and publicly. Narrative works by agreement, and the whole point about divorce is that it represents the end of agreement".
I had already completely loved Fuller's first book about her childhood in Africa so I was a little apprehensive about my expectations that I carried.
Armed with a review that called this book an anti-story and the knowledge that reality never lines up with your expectations, I listened cautiously to this wonderful woman tell her own story.
Folks, it still is Bobo Fuller in all her wonder and literary glory. She has managed to continue her quest for authenticity, honesty, and truth in a world of understood silences. I can hear her continue to tell the story of a paradoxical life of both joy and sorrow, where there are no heroes, there are only humans. You can't let this book go, and while it was written with a softer pen than her famous first book, it was all so clearly written by Alexandra and with such a fierce passion for life that I could not have asked for anything else.
