ALEXANDRA FULLER was born in England in 1969. In 1972, she moved with her family to a farm in southern Africa. She lived in Africa until her midtwenties. In 1994, she moved to Wyoming. She is the author of several memoirs, including Leaving Before the Rains Come, Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness, and Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight.
“Travel Light, Move Fast is a sensitive, meticulously wrought
portrait of one family’s sometimes-challenging dynamics, set
against an unforgiving African backdrop. Fuller’s beautiful prose
juxtaposes the grieving process with the lessons she learned from
the man whose adventures shaped her.” —BookPage
“A story of joy, resilience and vitality.”—Business Day
“[Fuller’s] family remains endlessly fascinating and delightful
companions for long-time readers and new ones alike. . . A
gorgeously written tribute to a life well lived and the resilience
of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable loss and
grief.” —Booklist, starred review
"[Fuller] sifted through a lifetime of memories in order to pen
this celebration of the man whose profound influence helped shape
her own worldview. [She]writes gracefully about embracing
grief as an indelible part of the human experience. Another
elegant memoir from a talented storyteller."—Kirkus Reviews
