Though it was a slow start, this memoir has something for everyone and should serve as an inspiration for anyone who wants to write their own.

challenging dark emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

Audre Lord is one of the best, most beautiful writers that I've ever read and her talent is on full show here.  Now there are some parts that are rather slow, but then there are some scenes that are so compelling and meaningful that they overshadow the slow scenes.

this is the most amazing book i’ve ever read, and i don’t say that quite often. audre lorde’s prose and vivid storytelling is both beautiful and memorable as she talks about her childhood and what it was like growing up in a west indian household, her identity and what it was like to be a black queer woman, and the women in her life who’ve made a lasting impact. definitely a must read
