The story of Maya Angelou’s extraordinary life has been chronicled in her multiple bestselling autobiographies. But now, at last, the legendary author shares the deepest personal story of her life: her relationship with her mother.
For the first time, Angelou reveals the triumphs and struggles of being the daughter of Vivian Baxter, an indomitable spirit whose petite size belied her larger-than-life presence—a presence absent during much of Angelou’s early life. When her marriage began to crumble, Vivian famously sent three-year-old Maya and her older brother away from their California home to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. The subsequent feelings of abandonment stayed with Angelou for years, but their reunion, a decade later, began a story that has never before been told. In Mom & Me & Mom , Angelou dramatizes her years reconciling with the mother she preferred to simply call “Lady,” revealing the profound moments that shifted the balance of love and respect between them.
Delving into one of her life’s most rich, rewarding, and fraught relationships, Mom & Me & Mom explores the healing and love that evolved between the two women over the course of their lives, the love that fostered Maya Angelou’s rise from immeasurable depths to reach impossible heights.
Praise for Mom & Me & Mom
“[The] latest, and most potent, of her serial autobiographies . . . [a] tough-minded, tenderhearted addition to Angelou’s spectacular canon.”— Elle
“Mesmerizing . . . Angelou has a way with words that can still dazzle us , and with her mother as a subject, Angelou has a near-perfect muse and mystery woman.”— Essence
“True to her style, [Angelou’s] writing cuts to the chase with compression and simplicity, and there in the background is a calypso smoothness, flurries and showers of musicality between the moments of wickedness. . . . A tightly strung, finely tuned memoir about life with her mother.”— Kirkus Reviews
“In this loving recollection of a complicated relationship, Angelou for the first time details the mother-daughter journey to reconciliation and unwavering connection and support. . . . Angelou vividly portrays a spirited woman. . . . [A] remarkable and deeply revealing chronicle of love and healing.”— Booklist
“Written with her customary eloquence . . . follows in the episodic style of Angelou’s earlier volumes of autobiography, pulling the reader along effortlessly . The lessons and the love presented here will speak to those trying to make their way in the world.”— Publishers Weekly

艾玛·沃森满地铁站丢的那本书,看完了这本传记类的书,才知道作者是集作家、诗人、歌者、舞者众多身份为一体的人。书的内容很简单,就是关于母亲,不是单单讲自己的母亲怎样怎样,而是把母亲作为一种“角色”,讲述了自己的祖母、自己的母亲,和自己作为母亲的一系列事情。实话说,语言根本不算优美,甚至有些机械化,但是读完以后,对母亲这个称呼有了更深层的理解。成为一个优秀的母亲是一件特别不容易的事情,也许终其一生也很... 艾玛·沃森满地铁站丢的那本书,看完了这本传记类的书,才知道作者是集作家、诗人、歌者、舞者众多身份为一体的人。书的内容很简单,就是关于母亲,不是单单讲自己的母亲怎样怎样,而是把母亲作为一种“角色”,讲述了自己的祖母、自己的母亲,和自己作为母亲的一系列事情。实话说,语言根本不算优美,甚至有些机械化,但是读完以后,对母亲这个称呼有了更深层的理解。成为一个优秀的母亲是一件特别不容易的事情,也许终其一生也很难做好这件事情。从自己的母亲身上,作者学到了坚强、勇敢。在作者迷茫的时候得到了母亲的支持和鼓励。最后在母亲的肺癌中结束了整本书,看的我眼泪汪汪。我接受不了西方那种个体是独立的,需要离开父母这种文化,也接受不了人最后都会说永别这个事实。既然那么舍不得至亲的人,就要更加珍惜在一起的每一天,尽量不留遗憾。 (展开)

[有声书] 第一次读/听Maya Angelou,讲她和她妈妈的故事。有声书Maya自己朗读,效果很好,似乎能给那些回忆注入更多的感情。Maya妈妈在民权运动之前的那个年代就那么有自我的主张,为女性为黑人和其他少数族裔争取权益,想必也是Maya的明灯。整个过程也会让人想到Trevor Noah在那本《Born A Crime》里让他妈妈圈粉无数,都是平凡而伟大的母亲啊!!这本是她的自传系列中的其中...

几年前偶然购买的书,因为酷爱读别人的自传,所以个人认为是值得一读的作品。
