Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Childhood by Trevor Noah

5.0

The book is a wonderful read. Documenting life in Johannesburg at the tail end of Apartheid, Noah gives us many little insights into the struggles and little victories of his family and people at large. At time quite humorous and at other times harrowing, Born A Crime oozes with an authentic vignettes of characters overcoming the odds and accomplishing far more than they could’ve ever imagined made possible only by the steadfast support of a parent or loved one who believes in them.
