Non fiction – Scuffed Granny

Muzungu by Rod Madocks

A reflection on a childhood in Africa at the end of empire and how that has inexorably shaped the author into the man he was and is now

The book that begins Maya Angelou’s memoir is full of her experiences at a young age of what is wrong with the world but also, what is right

One line cannot do this story justice – a tale of a young girl in a life that no young girl should ever encounter.

A book for the open-minded where an alternative view of our universe and the argument for reincarnation is proposed with scientific support

A touching and funny memoir by the author about his relationship with his mother and their lives together

Jack Gohn’s stimulating and candid memoir illustrates how all autobiographical works should be structured for ultimate enjoyment- to music

The Wilsons, through their tandem memoirs, take their reader on an achingly candid and emotional tour of their youthful travel experiences

A personal exploration of the ups-and- downs of the author’s varied life, written with honesty and humour

An amalgamation of less than complimentary comments and quotes from the people of history, some more famous than others

A uniquely moving book, beautifully written with poignancy and a touch of humour – a window into a world of paralysis
