Hilarious and heartbreaking — a must-read for understanding South Africa’s past and present.
Trevor Noah was born a crime: the child of a black Xhosa mother and a white Swiss father at a time when such a union was literally illegal under apartheid. His memoir traces his extraordinary childhood in South Africa with humour, honesty, and sharp social commentary — blending laugh-out-loud stories with deeply moving portraits of resilience, identity, and survival.
“My mother showed me what was possible.”
A BookTok favourite and book club staple. Perfect for fans of Long Walk to Freedom (Nelson Mandela), I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (Maya Angelou), and Crying in H Mart (Michelle Zauner).
A paperback (2016, Spiegel & Grau) in Good condition.
