What is the author's tone in Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight: An African Childhood by Alexandra Fuller?

The tone is very honest, straight forward and objective. Fuller accurately reports events and scenes as she remembers them. A genuine affection for her quirky parents flows through the book. Fuller never condemns her parent's alcoholism or drug use, never blames them for any imperfections in her life as an adult. In fact, although many readers will disagree with the Fuller's racism and politics, one cannot help but admire their ability to raise strong, vibrant daughters in the midst of a revolution while literally avoiding land mines.
