Book Review of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings
reviewed on + 60 more book reviews


The first volume of the five volumes that make up the autobiographical work of one amazing and facinating woman, Maya Angelou.

James Baldwin probably said it best "I know that not since the days of my childhood, when people in books were more real than the people one saw every day, have I been so moved".

Truly a compelling look into a side of life many of us are completely unfamiliar with. Well done!
