"The needs of a society determine its ethics..." Maya Angelou tells a beautiful, autobiographical story taking place in Arkansas, St. Louis, California, and Mexico, with colorful and layered characters. This book has an intriguing plot mixed with poetry, mixed with heart breaking scenes, mixed with intellectual reflections on Black culture, feminism, and art. I also love introverted characters who escape into literature. Maya Angelou is a wonderful author.
