マイ・ストーリー / by Michelle Obama

5.0

Wow. This was a hell of a book. I don’t typically enjoy autobiographies or memoirs, but this one was so well written, so inspiring, so moving, that I was completely drawn in. I listened to the audiobook (narrated by the author) and Michelle’s voice is warm and expressive. You can feel her emotion when speaking about the losses and difficult times, and her joy in her love of her family and country. I’m not even American and this book makes me miss having the Obamas in the White House.

I highly recommend this read to anyone who has ever struggled against the patriarchy, felt lost in a sea of whiteness, or had significant obstacles to overcome.

It’s a beautiful illustration of what an open heart and determination can do.

Read this book!!
