159 - The Girl who saved the King of Sweden
SKU:
Just because the world ignores you, doesn’t mean you can’t save it!
Nombeko Mayeki is on the run from the world’s most ruthless secret service - with 3 Chinese sisters, twins who are officially one person and an elderly potato farmer.
Oh and the fate of the King of Sweden - and the world - rests on her shoulders.
Born in a Soweto shack in 1961, Nombeko is destined for a short, hard life. When she is run over by a drunken engineer, her luck changes. Alive, but blamed for the accident, she is sent to work for the driver, the brandy-soaked head of a project vital to South Africa’s security. Nombeko may be good at cleaning, but she’s amazing with numbers. The drunken engineer isn’t - and has made a big mistake. And only Nombeko knows about it…
As uproariously funny as Jonas Jonasson’s bestselling debut, this is an entrancing tale of luck, love and international relations.
REVIEW:
This book mixes fact with fiction and creates a quirky, unrealistic, fun story that should not be taken too seriously. I complete recommend that to all who enjoy a good laugh! - M van Rooyen
