After her father's sudden death, Alexandra Fuller realizes that if she is going to weather his loss, she will need to become the parts of him she misses most. So begins Travel Light, Move Fast, the unforgettable story of Tim Fuller, a self-exiled black sheep who moved to Africa to fight in the Rhodesian Bush War before settling as a banana farmer in Zambia. A man who preferred chaos to predictability and who was more afraid of becoming bored than of getting lost, he taught his daughters to live as if everything needed to happen all together, all at once -- or not at all. Now, as she and her mother return to his farm and contend with his overwhelming absence, Fuller recounts her childhood chasing after him and takes in satiable appetite for life to heart. Here, in Fuller's Africa, is a story of joy, resilience, and vitality, from one of our finest writers
