Sinossi
Il seguito del bestseller Non andiamo ai cani stasera Nata in Inghilterra e sradicata nell'Africa meridionale quando era bambina dai suoi genitori, Alexandra Fuller ha vissuto un'educazione unica, colorata sia di tragedia che di gioia, sullo sfondo delle guerre della Rhodesia. Dopo il suo matrimonio con l'americano Charlie Ross, lascia l'Africa per il Wyoming negli Stati Uniti. Questo seguito del bestseller Non andiamo ai cani stasera cattura vividamente gli alti, i bassi e la dissoluzione finale del matrimonio ventennale di Fuller e il suo legame indissolubile con il suo passato africano mentre cerca spiegazioni per il presente e risposte per il futuro. Intrecciato con storie della sua infanzia in Africa, Fuller dipinge un quadro brillante dell'amore di un'espatriata per la sua terra natale, l'accettazione di suo padre da parte di una figlia e il commovente viaggio del suo matrimonio e divorzio. Toccante, schietto e malinconicamente umoristico, Leaving Before the Rains Come troverà eco in chiunque si sia mai disinnamorato – di una persona, di un'idea o di un luogo – e abbia accettato se stesso e creduto che solo noi possiamo salvare noi stessi. "Straordinario, splendidamente scritto e fantasticamente divertente. Una lettura compulsiva" Observer.
