Trevor Noah, Born A Crime

Trevor Noah, Born A Crime ✨ “Love is a creative act.” ❤️ Trevor Noah’s brilliant and beautiful novel of resiliency and racism while growing up under apartheid in South Africa was the most genuine, moving, thoughtful, and important book I’ve read this year. Admittedly, I knew little about South Africa, or apartheid, or even Mr. Noah himself before reading this. I knew he had major comedic chops but didn’t know about his upbringing or his story. And what a remarkable story it is! To bring humor and light to some incredibly dark and complicated material was illuminating, and absorbing. Also moving was the complexity of love between mother and son. Reader hint: Don’t read the last chapter if you’re rushed or off to bed; be sure to savor chapter 18, “My Mother’s Life”. I stayed up way past my bedtime engrossed in the book; you will not put it down. 5 out of 5 bocks!
