Blurb:
Nombeko Mayeki is on the run from the world's most ruthless secret service - with three 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 was destined for a short, hard life. When she was run over by a drunken engineer her luck changed. Alive, but blamed for the accident, she was made to work for the engineer - who happened to be in charge of a project vital to South Africa's security. Nombeko was good at cleaning, but brilliant at understanding numbers. The drunk engineer wasn't - and made a big mistake. And now 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.

Journal Entry 4 by wingApoloniaXwing at Bremen, Bremen Germany on Monday, June 8, 2015
A lovely, entertaining pageturner, a wild, bizarre, unlikely story where nothing is ever taken really seriously, one of those feel-good books (which I can bear only from time to time, but this one is good). It's quite like "The One-Hundred Year-Old..." - some kind of a loser who gets entangled with international politics, but then it's very different too - the protagonist is no old man from Sweden but a quirky young woman from a South African slum.

I just received this book by mail from ApoloniaX. Thank you very much, I am looking forwards to reading it.

Journal Entry 7 by ronsar at -- Per Post geschickt/ Persönlich weitergegeben --, Sachsen Germany on Thursday, July 16, 2015
Well-written, funny, fast-paced, interesting. It could have been a little shorter however. Maybe 5 or 6 chapters shorter, to be precise, because the book was a little repetitive.
