Critics Review
‘Quite extraordinary.’
‘Quite extraordinary.’ * Toni Morrison *
‘A remarkable story…A journey of heart and mind into a family maelstrom of identity, class and race…in a literary tradition of political prose that goes back to another master of the American language: Abraham Lincoln.’ * Robert McCrum, Guardian *
‘Provocative…Persuasively describes the phenomenon of belonging to two different worlds, and thus belonging to neither.’ * New York Times Book Review *
‘Guides us straight to the intersection of the most serious questions of identity, class, and race.’ * Washington Post Book World *
‘This compelling memoir proves how powerful writing can be. It’s a chance to be inquisitive with yourself, to observe the world, confront your limits, walk in the shoes of others and try on new ideas.’ * PS News *
‘A valuable additional to school and personal libraries…Obama writes with humility and generosity…This memoir continues to inspire and the young adult reader will enjoy his story.’ * SAETA *
