Maya Angelou is one of my favourite writers and this book kept the good name. I love her writing and there is always so much to learn from her.

However, having read hers "Mum, mum and me" this summer, the seemed like a bit of repetition - many stories have already been written so I had to skip those parts. Well, not skip but it was repetitive so it slowed down the reading pace.

Nonetheless, the book is a real pleasure, full of short "stories" and little details from her travels and experiences that linger in your mind long after the book has been put down.
