Blind Date at a Funeral

ebook
Take a tour with Trevor Romain of some of his wildest, most memorable experiences in this collection of coming-of-age stories about living in South Africa in the 1970s. Whether he was scaling walls in search of mulberry leaves for his shoebox of silkworms, hitchhiking to the local ice rink on a Friday night, or keeping his head firmly down as a new conscript, these anecdotes will leave you laughing, crying, or just shaking your head in disbelief. Every story is accompanied by one of Trevor's iconic drawings, which have been carefully crafted with a pitch-perfect combination of humour and nostalgia to leave an enduring imprint on your own memories and to keep you wanting more. Both entertaining and deeply moving, this is a book perfect for anyone looking for what it really means to be proudly South African.
