Great read! The story moves swiftly through the author's life from age 5 or 6 through age 16, from Arkansas to St. Louis to California to Mexico. This is not only a tremendously entertaining story, but Angelou's writing lends a poetry to her life that makes the terrible things somehow okay, and the good things even better. A stunning portrait of a young southern black girl's place in not only the south, but the greater world beyond it, and a VERY worthwhile read.
