A review by lambsears
Becoming by Michelle Obama
4.0
Michelle Obama has a great story to tell and she tells it engagingly in this well-written memoir.
She covers the entirety of her life so far and the insight we get into her upbringing speaks to how grounded a woman she is today.
The second part of the book, covering the campaigns and years in the White House is exhausting - I have no idea how she kept up the pace, balancing one of the toughest jobs in the world with a healthy family life, doing it all with intelligence, grace, charm and poise.
I know I'm not alone in missing the reassuring presence of her and Barack on the international political stage.
