Besides being an interesting memoir, it's a good example of how history can be conveyed and reflected upon through events and exposition by characters. Here, Fuller uses her mother's drunken soliloquies to hold the history of the end of colonial Africa.

Earlier sections were more compelling than those in the latter third of the book.
