Title : The Illiterate Man Who Knew How to Count - Jonas Jonasson - book

Summary :

"Statistically, the probability of an illiterate woman born in 1960s Soweto growing up to find herself locked in a potato truck with the King of Sweden and his Prime Minister is one in forty-five billion six hundred and sixty-six million two hundred and twelve thousand eight hundred and ten.
According to the calculations of the said illiterate.

Everything seemed destined for Nombeko Mayeki, a little black girl born in South Africa's largest ghetto, to lead a life of hard work and die young amidst general indifference. Everything except fate. And her prodigious ability to handle numbers. Thus, Nombeko, the illiterate who knows how to count, finds herself propelled far from her country and poverty, into the upper echelons of international politics. During her incredible journey across the world, our heroine meets colorful characters, including two physically identical yet very different brothers, an angry young girl, and a paranoid potter. She alienates the world's most feared secret services and finds herself locked in a potato truck. At that moment, all of humanity is threatened with destruction.
After the worldwide success of the An old man who didn't want to celebrate his birthday, Jonas Jonasson delivers a comedy just as explosive as the first. With his trademark wacky humor, he tackles prejudices and definitively demolishes the myth that kings don't wring the necks of chickens.
