The World According to Merle

 Gail Gilbride’s review     23 April 2025

Merle Levin’s brave, heartwarming memoir is a tribute to love, and all that life has to offer.  

This unapologetically humorous account is an exploration of life’s choices and absurdities. There are many detours on this quest to find home and along the way it occurred to me that home can be a person, not a place.  The ‘saam loop’ partner could fill that role …

Levin’s lyrical voice is filled with a deep knowing. She embraces life and love in all its forms and honours the extraordinary partnership she has with her husband.

The World according to Merle is filled with wisdom, and a reminder that everything is inter-connected. It is a tribute to the rich tapestry of her life so far and a promise to embrace the exciting future ahead.

This memoir is a beautiful love letter to coming home in the millions of ways possible, and that includes Levin’s beloved South Africa.

Curl up in front of your fire with The World according to Merle and allow yourself to become dangerously alive!
