Publisher's Summary

Comedian Oliver Twist was four years old when he and his family fled the aftermath of genocide in Rwanda for Malawi, their exile for the next fourteen years.

Twist has turned the turmoil he and his family endured into a thrilling adventure of a hero's journey. A natural born storyteller, propelled from the cold alleys of a Malawian refugee camp to the warm spotlight of the Australian stage, he vividly describes what it's like to leave your homeland behind and to have to wait your whole childhood for life to begin.

Powerful, heartbreaking and full of humour, Jali marks the arrival of a dazzling new voice.

Oliver is the consummate storyteller

I first came across Oliver when listening to an episode of The Imperfects Podcast last year. His story captivated me at the time and I wanted to know more. The instant I found Jali written and read by Oliver on Audible, I immediately immersed myself in his story once more. Oliver has a wonderful gift for storytelling that soothes the listener. Whilst his story is at times sad and heartbreaking, it is also full of wild adventure, fun stories, hope and optimism. At its heart though, Jali is about family, friends, connection and home. The true ingredients for a wonderful life. Highly recommend you listen to Oliver read his story to you.
