So good! I recommend the audiobook as it’s read by the author. I knew very little about South Africa during Apartheid. I had made certain assumptions that I now know were all wrong.

Incredibly well-written, with compelling recurring themes and a lot of history as well

It's one thing knowing somebody had a rough childhood, but knowing the details is completely different. Light in tone, dark in subject matter. I was moved by it.

Cracking read. A great insight into South African society and culture (which I knew virtually nothing about) and plenty of laughs.
