White Trash is a remarkable memoir told with vivid detail, dark humour and savage honesty.
The first time Terry Angelos has sex with a black man, she is paid 300, working as a 19 year-old call girl in London. Back home it is 1989 and South Africa is being torn apart by political unrest and violence. It is a year before Nelson Mandela is released from prison and five years before the country's first democratic election.
Raised during the Rhodesian bush war in the 1970s and immigrating to South Africa at the age of 11, the author is shaped by a white culture that is racist, unstable, privileged and deeply divided. Her childhood appears idyllic but it is tragically bizarre as the adults around her insist on living their version of normality while everything falls apart.
Hungry for adventure and wildly curious, she drops out of her fine art degree in SA and runs away to London where she soon descends into the city's seedy underbelly to begin working as a "high-class" call girl. By the time she turns 20, she's embroiled in the underworld of Chinese Mafia, depraved clients and a perilous blackmail scheme.
In a remarkable turn of events, at her lowest point of no return, Terry finds a seed of hope in a crowded tourist hub. Her journey towards redemption is both magnificent and miraculous as she embarks on a heroic quest to reinvent herself.
