Insightful and raw telling of Maya’s life in her own words, I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to finally read. A lot of the themes resonated with me, and I couldn’t put it down even as I read so of the very difficult events. The way Maya writes is poetic and beautiful, I highly recommend reading her works to everyone.

I don't rate memoirs.
I have never heard anyone mention that this is the first of seven autobiographies.
I am interested to know whether this is from diary entries or remembered as an adult as hindsight both adds and takes away from the narrative.
