Story
Alexandra Fuller tells the idiosyncratic story of her life growing up white in rural Rhodesia as it was becoming Zimbabwe. The daughter of hardworking, yet strikingly unconventional English-bred immigrants, Alexandra arrives in Africa at the tender age of two. She moves through life with a hardy resilience, even as a bloody war approaches. Narrator Lisette Lecat reads this remarkable memoir of a family clinging to a harsh landscape and the dying tenets of colonialism.

Story from the eyes of a white child growing up in Africa.

Fascinating story from the eyes of a white child growing up in Africa. Told matter of factly with humor but also stinging from the racist reality of such a life. The author takes you on her journey across multiple countries as her family looks for work, suffers losses, and she awakens to life’s injustices.

Story
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

I haven’t enjoyed a book this much for a while. It’s smart and funny -maddening and uplifting. Loved it.
