About this gift
Trevor Noah's Born a Crime book is a funny, honest memoir for anyone who loves a true story of a childhood in South Africa during the twilight of apartheid. It suits memoir readers, fans of The Daily Show and anyone curious about history.
He was born a crime: his white Swiss father and black Xhosa mother's union was punishable by five years in prison, so his mother kept him mostly indoors through his first years. The book is equally the story of her fearless, rebellious and fervently religious character, determined to save her son from poverty, violence and abuse.
Caterpillars for dinner, a kidnapping attempt and high school dating, all in the author's own voice. It makes a thoughtful birthday or Christmas gift for a book lover. Pick up a copy for the reader on your list and let Trevor tell his story.
Perfect for: Birthday gifts · Christmas gifts · Christmas gifts for him · Christmas gifts for dad
Great for: Gifts for him · Gifts for dad · Gifts for book lovers · memoir readers, fans of Trevor Noah, anyone curious about history
