Read for #readtheworld2025

Memoir about a man‘s life in Kenya. I found it interesting and very specific to Wainaina‘s life. A mix of coming of age and details of how he became a writer.

GatheringBooks I don‘t think i‘ve ever read a book from Kenya yet. Stacked! 1d

Fun spy romp through South Africa. Irritating commentary on women and domestic abuse by heroine though.

From THE MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT by Agatha Christie:
“Nadina, the Russian dancer who had taken Paris by storm, swayed to the sound of the applause, bowed and bowed again.“

Starting my attempt to read (some of) the books discussed in Barbara Boswell's discussion of black women's writing from South Africa.

This copy came from the US (thankyou biblio.com), but had a sticker on the back saying £3.50. It also looks like someone has very carefully restitched it back together. Love a book with a bit of history!

What a way to grow up! For a guy who had so much trying to hold him back - apartheid, poverty, abusive step-father - he has gone far. But this isn‘t a “look what I did” book. It‘s a love letter to his mother. #readyourkobo @CBee

Whew! Been a little MIA lately… life has been hectic and the current climate sucks. Luckily, I‘ve been able to keep up a steady pace reading. Here is March 📚 Born A Crime & Holding It Together are both 5 ⭐️ reads and 10/10 recommend. #LitsyLoveReads

Another #Afrikaans read for me...
I struggled a bit with the writing style and pacing of this one. At times nothing seems to happen, and the everything happens all at once.
I would however be interested in reading more of Venter's work, as it was so different form the usual Mystery/Romance I'm used to.
