Language: English
Genre: Autobiography, Biography
Pages: 289
Rating: 4/5
Excerpt:
This book is an autobiography of Marguerite Johnson, pen name Maya Angelou written in 1969. It is poetic and has a powerful diction capable of touching the stoned hearts of the ages and change minds. This book keeps one pondering about how gruesome the world has treated the coloured people and scarred them in ways one cannot imagine.
The memoir recounts Maya's life experiences, through her adolescent years with reflections about growing up black and female during the Great Depression.
My thoughts :
A must-read for any of Maya Angelou's fans. A summary of the book, cannot do justice to the true note of incidents. One has to read it to feel the experience of the writer's life in the poetic narration and appreciate the essence of life and sensitivity with which life threads are woven.
