I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

5.0

The world has lost a literary song bird. Maya Angelou recounts her early years with an insight and clarity that almost defies words. Her descriptions are vivid, her perspective is wise beyond its years, and, even though her younger years could have been viewed as tragic, Maya ensures that this memoir does not evoke pity. This memoir is timeless, and can be read over and over again, without ever aging a day.
