"She was an inspiration" Jackie Kay
One of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World
"If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive"
A little black girl opens her eyes in 1930s Harlem, weak and half-blind. On she stumbles - through teenage pain and loneliness, but then to happiness in friendship, work and sex, from Washington Heights to Mexico, always changing, always strong. This is Audre Lorde's story.
A rapturous, life-affirming autobiographical novel by the "Black, lesbian, mother, warrior poet", it changed the literary landscape.
