bookishchelle's review against another edition

emotional funny informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Snippets of Trevor Noah's life in South Africa as mixed children before & after the apartheid. Funny, emotional, and filled with little bits of information about what it is like living as mixed child and the differences of rights of his mother, African and his father who is white.  We also get a look at how his mother survived an abusive relationship with his half-brother's father.
