Danh ngôn của Alexandra Fuller (Sứ mệnh: 1)

The memoirs that have come out of Africa are sometimes startlingly beautiful, often urgent, and essentially life-affirming, but they are all performances of courage and honesty.
In retrospect, I have come to recognise just how astounding my mother was during our childhood.

There really is nothing like war to reveal the power of patriarchy, but she always retained her independence.
I adore my family. I don't love their politics. I think they're wonderful parents. They were dreadful at parenting.
