Eggs to lay, chicken to hatch by Chris van Wyk

Eggs to lay, chickens to hatch – Chris van Wyk (Picador, 2010)
Eggs to lay, chickens to hatch – Chris van Wyk (Picador, 2010) This is Chris van Wyk's second childhood memoir, and it's obvious he enjoyed writing this one just as much as he did the first one. Once again his humour and easy style sparkle in his tales of growing up in a world where apartheid means that only white is right, as we follow him into adulthood. He forms a special bond with his parents' housekeeper, Agnes, with both looking out for one another. The memoir is also a tribute to Agnes, who gave him the title of the book.
