Condición: Como nuevo. : En 'Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness', Alexandra Fuller nos presenta la historia de su madre, Nicola Fuller, una mujer glamurosa y optimista que, junto a su esposo, vislumbró un futuro prometedor en África Oriental. Sin embargo, la vida les deparó desafíos inesperados que los llevaron a Rodesia como administradores de una granja, donde el fantasma del anterior encargado, quien se había suicidado, parecía advertirles de tragedias venideras. Tras la pérdida de uno de sus hijos, África dejó de ser el paraíso de la infancia de Nicola. La familia regresó a Inglaterra antes de volver a Rodesia, en medio de una guerra civil. En la última etapa de sus vidas, los Fuller se establecieron en una plantación de plátanos y una piscifactoría en el valle del Zambezi, construyendo su comedor bajo el Árbol del Olvido, un lugar de encuentro tradicional para resolver disputas. Es en este espíritu de olvido que Nicola finalmente dejó atrás, aunque no perdonó, a sus enemigos, incluyendo a su propia hija y a un invasor que ocupó sus tierras con su numerosa familia. Esta obra, a la vez divertida, trágica, aterradora y exótica, narra una historia de supervivencia, locura, amor, guerra, pasión y compasión.

READ ON for more details and interesting facts ## ## ##Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness is a memoir by Alexandra Fuller, published in 2011. The book is a sequel to her memoir, Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight. In this book, Fuller tells the story of her mother, Nicola Fuller, who was born on the Scottish Isle of Skye and raised in Kenya. The book is a multilayered narrative that weaves together the stories of Nicola's childhood in Happy Valley-era Africa, the grimness of her father's English childhood, and the darker, civil war-torn Africa of Alexandra's childhood.## ##The book is a story of survival and madness, love and war, loyalty and forgiveness. It is an intimate exploration of the author's family; at its heart, it is the story of Fuller's mother, Nicola. Nicola holds dear the values most likely to get you hurt or killed in Africa: loyalty to blood, passion for land, and a holy belief in the restorative power of all animals. Fuller interviewed her mother at length, capturing her inimitable voice with remarkable precision.## ## The book is as funny, terrifying, exotic, and unselfconscious as Nicola herself. We see Nicola and Tim Fuller in their lavender-coloured honeymoon period, when East Africa lies before them with all the promise of its liquid equatorial light, even as the British Empire, in which they both believe, wanes. But in short order, an accumulation of mishaps and tragedies bumps up against history until the couple finds themselves in a world they hardly recognize. We follow the Fullers as they hopscotch the continent, running from war and unspeakable heartbreak, from Kenya to Rhodesia to Zambia, even briefly returning to England. But just when it seems that Nicola has been broken entirely by Africa, the African earth revives her. ## ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.
