"Thoughtful, moving and brilliantly written"
The Times
"Obama has written a memoir ... that evokes the anguish of miscegenation yet culminates in a cry of faith in human community ... Obama is a born narrator, with a mastery of colour, scene and personality, deftly stirring them into the melting pot of a shared American identity. Rarely has that identity found so vivid a portraitist"
