Five stars for this audiobook! I first attempted to read an ebook of this title and it was just too many big blocks of text with almost no dialogue, but read by the author the audiobook was delightful and poignant.
Eddie Ndopu was the first radically disabled person to attend Oxford University in Great Britain. This book focuses on the challenges he faced after being accepted to Oxford and then during his time there in his graduate program. Eddie is fiercely intelligent and calls out ableism plainly. This book is an eye opener to how far we need to come as a society and a side of calling out the connection between capitalism and ableism.
Don't miss this one and then do something positive for the disabled community.
