The Dragons, the Giant, the Women: A Memoir by Wayétu Moore

4.0

A memoir that reads like a novel will always get my attention, and this book did not disappoint me. Ms. Moore tells this story from multiple perspectives seamlessly woven together. Interestingly, I found Ms. Moore's writing to be strongest when telling the story of her parents and grandparents, not herself. This book covers so many topics - war in Liberia, immigration, being Black in the United States, outsiders view of Africa - but you are so captivated by the story that you don't even realize its scope. Highly recommended.
