An interesting book about growing up in South Africa before and after the end of Apartheid.. I could never imagine that Noah went through so much on his life; enough to break him, but he managed to step away, and that's remarkable. 
There was a lot of going back and forth in time that made it hard(er) to follow and gave a feeling of being a tad inconsistent. Not bad, just not great...
