Mom & me & mom - Maya Angelou
KORTE INHOUD
Maya Angelou's seven volumes of autobiography are a testament to the talents and resilience of this extraordinary writer.
Loving the world, she also knows the cruelty. As a black woman she has known discrimination and extreme poverty, but also hope and joy, achievement and celebration.
In this, her seventh and final volume - written the year before she died - she reveals, with honesty and courage, the story of her ultimately rewarding relationship with the mother who sent the three-year old Maya and her older brother away from their California home to live with her grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas.
'An extraordinary tale' - (Sunday Times
' A brilliant writer, a fierce friend and a truly phenomenal woman' - President Barack Obama
'She was important in so many ways. She launched African American women writing in the United States. She was generous to a fault. She had ninenteen talents - used ten. And was a real original. There is no duplicate'
Toni Morrison
'Maya Angelou was utterly amazing' - J.K. Rowling
