'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 *
