Audiobooks
Maya Angelou's debut memoir is a modern American classic, beloved worldwide. 'I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings' recounts a youth filled with curiosity, wonder, disappointment, frustration, tragedy, and hard-won independence. Abandoned by their parents, Maya and her older brother Bailey are sent to live with their grandmother and uncle in a small Southern town in Arkansas, where they must endure the prejudice of their white neighbours. When their father unexpectedly returns to take them away, the children are then left with their mother in St Louis, Missouri. At eight years old, Maya is abused by her mother's boyfriend, an experience that haunts her for a lifetime. She remains reclusive until she meets Mrs Bertha Flowers, who encourages her love of books and helps her to regain her own strong spirit.
