The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- Hard Cover Worthy!
Kindle & Audible: US or CA
A memoir about growing up mixed-race in apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa, where his very existence was illegal. Through sharp humor and honesty, Noah recounts stories of family, poverty, faith, and survival while revealing how identity, resilience, and laughter can exist even in the harshest systems.
I don’t want to spoil it for you, but if you haven’t already, go read this right now, this is a MUST read!
My mom recommended this book to me at least 4 years ago and I now think it is insane that it took me this long to read it. At first I thought this would land as a 4 for me (see my December Wrap-up), but I couldn’t stop thinking about all of the wild and insane life experiences Trevor has been able to share with us. Even as I went back through my audio clips I was shocked at how insightful his statements are and how eloquently he delivers them. The audio version was an absolute performance. This book might even be replacing Greenlights as my favorite memoir!
Now I did recognize Trevor from North American TV and as a comedian, although this book stops short just before that period of his life starts. I am so hoping for another book and to see how his perspective continues to grow.
I hope you have a great day & Happy Reading!
