Bom Boy – Yewande Omotoso
R 95.00
Leke, a troubled young man living in Cape Town, struggles with isolation and compulsive behaviours until he discovers a series of letters written by his father. These letters reveal a family history marked by secrets, migration, and longing — forcing Leke to confront his identity and the possibility of connection.
A beautifully written South African debut exploring belonging, diaspora, and the quiet ache of self-discovery. Trending among readers drawn to themes of family secrets and healing, and the resonant idea that "We are all bom boys, searching for home."
Perfect for fans of Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi and The Fishermen by Chigozie Obioma.
A paperback (2011) in Very Good condition.
