A review by hkingcrab
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, by Maya Angelou
challenging
lighthearted
reflective
sad
medium-paced
4.5
I went in to this book not knowing much abt it except that it was well-known. I listened to the audiobook which is narrated by Angelou. I think if I had read it word by word, I would have cried. There are so many darker themes, but narrated very lightly.
If you are a fan of Angelou, I think you would appreciate this book. Please check the content warnings before reading though.
