Maya Angelou moves to Ghana for a couple of years, and gives the reader some tremendous insights as to what it was like to live there during the civil rights movement, and the years of Kwame Nkrumah's new independence movement. A great read!
One of Maya Angelou's perceptive autobiographical works. Touching, humorous, and observant of race relations, cultural issues, and the overall widespread human elements we all experience.
Wonderful. This was my first Maya Angelou book. She's really thoughtful and such a talented storyteller. She delicately treats all the complex themes in this piece. What a life.
