About this listen
The World According to Merle is a wildly humorous and heartwarming memoir about a woman who defies age and convention. At 75, Merle is a self-described “dangerous old woman”–a vibrant force of nature who’s lived a full, rich life on her own terms. Whether she’s four-season swimming with her “Soggy Bottoms” group, learning about dung beetles in the Kalahari Desert or laughing through passionate arguments with Jeff, her husband of over 50 years, Merle has never been a fan of rules. Born into a 1950s Jewish family, Merle’s adventurous spirit led her to a life of rebellion and bold choices–from fleeing apartheid in the ’70s to starting anew in Canada with little money and even fewer plans.
On this rollicking journey through her extraordinary life, we are gifted profound insights and wisdom gained from living on the edge. And when she and Jeff return to SA, only to face floods and financial uncertainty, Merle’s irrepressible spirit shines through.
