Evaristo's narrative voice carries the reader easily through the various stages of her life. She addresses racism, privilege, and above all her absolute determination to live a life of creativity. It's not long, and the individual chapters stand alone as pieces of literary non-fiction. Her exploration of the process behind her work is interesting and certainly makes me want to read more of her work.
