BORN A CRIME

Trevor Noah

There's a reason this book is so hyped. Trevor Noah's memoir about growing up in apartheid South Africa as a mixed-race person is an experience very few of us can relate to, and yet that's just what this book is: heartwarming, hilarious, and through the mastery of his storytelling, relatable.
