If You Want to Make God Laugh by Bianca Marais
4.0
If You Want To Make God Laugh is the story of 3 women living in South Africa in the 1990s. Zodwa is a pregnant 17 year old living in a squatter camp. Ruth is a wealthy former star who is willing to create some drama. Delilah is a former nun volunteering at an orphanage. Read this book to learn how these women come together and the story that unites them all.
I loved Hum if You Don’t Know the Words so was looking forward to reading this one. Within a few pages I was reminded of how much I love Bianca Marais’s writing. I felt so drawn in to the story of these women. A lot of heavy topics are addressed - but I think all are handled respectfully and in a way that makes sense for their story. And I loved the glimpses of characters from HUM. With this, Marais has cemented herself as an auto buy author for me - I can’t wait to see what’s next!
