Libby Audiobook: Rise, Siya Kolisi

 


I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I am not a rugby fan, but I do enjoy starting my day with coffee and an inspirational leader.

Before reading, I knew very little about Siya and Rachel. The rugby match descriptions were not really my thing, yet there were moments where I found myself deeply moved, almost swept up in the elation and pride of those stadium victories.

What felt a little misaligned for me was that, early in the book, Siya emphasises his commitment to uplifting South Africa, yet later he moves to France. 

Still, any book that can elicit genuine emotion from me deserves top marks.

5/5
