challenging lighthearted reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

I went in to this book not knowing much abt it except that it was well-known. I listened to the audiobook which is narrated by Angelou. I think if I had read it word by word, I would have cried. There are so many darker themes, but narrated very lightly. 
If you are a fan of Angelou, I think you would appreciate this book. Please check the content warnings before reading though.

This book is beautiful if you can endure the sad and terrible.
