Maya Angelou’s Mom and
Me and Mom is a poetic memoir of a daughter learning to love her mother.
Angelou recounts her relationship with her mother in a fast paced, but
thoughtful story. Readers will be completely absorbed in the story of love,
betrayal, and redemption. The colorful characters; mainly Mrs. Baxter, the mom
of all moms, are both endearing and frustrating. In Angelou’s storytelling,
readers will find a lesson to be learned on love and forgiveness.
Set in urban northwest London, Zadie Smith’s NW presents ordinary life in such a way
to make it seem extraordinary. The urban setting in northwest London is
presented in vivid details through the character’s daily journeys on their bus
rides, or a simple walk through the community. Characters, with their personal
dramas, add life to the complex and slow paced storyline.
