Story
Narration
“Hearing a memoir in the author's own voice is a different thing entirely, and this is the best example of it.”
The story, without spoilers
Michelle Obama tells her story from childhood on the South Side of Chicago, through law school and work, to eight years in the White House.
The narration
She reads with humour and openness, and the personal chapters about family feel like a long conversation rather than a speech.
You will love it if
Memoir fans and anyone who prefers authors reading their own books
Maybe skip it if
Listeners looking for political analysis; this is personal, not policy
