Leaving Before the Rains Come

âeoeI believed that if I moored myself to Charlie, I would know tranquility interspersed with organized adventure. He would stay in Zambia because he loved the romance of it. I could remain here, safely. Our lives would be the âe~three rifles, supplies for a month and Mozartâe(tm) of Out of Africa without the plane crashes, syphilis and Danish accent.âe In 1992 Alexandra Fuller embarked on a new journey, into a long, tempestuous marriage to Charlie Ross, the love of her life. In this frank, personal memoir, a sequel to Donâe(tm)t Letâe(tm)s Go To The Dogs Tonight, she charts their twenty years together, from the brutal beauty of the Zambezi to the mountains of Wyoming âe" the new adventures, the unexplored paths, the insurmountable obstaclesâe¦ and the many signals that they missed along the way.
