    “A book club fav. Trevor comes across just as authentic, witty, and warm on paper as he does out loud.”

    “I recommend this book a lot! Noah details his childhood growing up mixed-race in South Africa, where interracial relationships were illegal at the time (hence the title). It's an incredible story, and he tells it with humour and heart. He also really challenged my perspective and how I view the world in ways I really appreciate and still think about.”

    “I confess I never actually read it in print. But I don’t think it can get better than the audiobook, narrated by the author.”
