The Heart of a Woman by Maya Angelou

adventurous emotional hopeful inspiring reflective

5.0

This audiobook is a dramatisation of Maya Angelou’s 4th autobiography brought by the BBC Radio 4 cast. It is essentially a heavily cut down version of Maya’s 4th book with an entire crew of people narrating her story including herself.

This book highlights her transition from being a cabaret singer to civil rights activist involving herself with several organizations like the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), and South African Liberation for Freedom  . She meets a string of famous leaders and is strung out so to speak by the many lovers she finds along the way. One thing I took away is that the goodness of her heart took her to many places and she even landed opportunities in the unlikeliest of places because her circle of friends vouched for her. It’s just amazing to see the many lives and experiences she’s lived. Another beautifully narrated , dramatized biography, I can see why these are so revered
