The most important journey of my life
Writing A Nun and the Pig was a searching trip down memory lane to 1980s South Africa, where I was a teacher. My return there in 2020 threw up one or two surprises… I hope you enjoy reading these tales as much as I enjoyed writing them.
What people are saying
“I have always admired Treive's ability to ‘spin a yarn', so I really encouraged him to document his South African adventures. I hope that the result will be as entertaining for the reader as it has been for me.”
“Treive has done real justice in telling a story of his varied experiences in an educational and entertaining style. A Nun and the Pig is a true testimony to the uniqueness of the Eastern Cape, especially the Transkei.”
“I can vouch for the authenticity of the events in A Nun & The Pig. Treive, thank you for telling our story in such an honest, colourful and sensitive fashion.”
