Beautiful and a very important topic that is addressed in this book. Statistics shares that there is a high percentage of children growing up without fathers. In South Africa there is a tv show called Khumbulekhaya. Majority of participants are in per suite of their fathers. Thank you, Sir, for answering the call to address this.
In Pursuit of my father, is an amazing novel. After I bought it I couldn’t help but recommend it to others. A whole lot people starting borrowing it from me, even to this day I don’t even know who was the last to borrow it and never returned it back.😂
