My Father, My Monster – McIntosh Polela
R 75.00
McIntosh Polela recounts his harrowing childhood in rural South Africa — abandoned by his mother and raised by a violent father. Raw, unflinching, and ultimately redemptive, this memoir explores trauma, resilience, and the long road to healing.
A powerful South African story that sits alongside Born a Crime by Trevor Noah and The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls in its honesty and emotional depth. Trending among readers drawn to themes of family, survival, and forgiveness, and the haunting truth that "Sometimes monsters are the ones closest to us."
A trade paperback (2011) in Good condition.
