Jessye NormanRecensioni

Recorded in 1986.

As an artist and musician, I learned much from Ms. Norman's memoir. I particularly enjoyed the first few chapters where she described her childhood. Her parents are remarkable people and I am impressed by the sense of self that she had from such a young age. Towards the end, I did grow a little weary, but overall I found much to love about this book.

Lovely. Just lovely.
