Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness by Alexandra Fuller is a memoir that revisits her familys life in Africa with both tenderness and candor.
The book centers on Fullers mother, Nicola, tracing her journey from childhood in Scotland to her fierce, often eccentric life in Kenya, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), and finally Zambia. Fuller paints a vivid portrait of her mothers resilience, humor, and contradictions, set against the backdrop of colonial upheaval, war, and the shifting political landscape of Southern Africa. The narrative blends personal memory with historical context, capturing the complexities of belonging, displacement, and identity.
It is both a love letter and an unflinching account, showing how family stories intertwine with the broader history of a continent in transition.
