Review
A literary phenomenon ― Guardian
Intimate, inspiring and set to become hugely influential ― Sunday Times
Inspirational without trying to be . . . a coming-of-age tale, a love story and a family saga all in one — Angie Thomas ― TIME
This revealing memoir offers new insights into her upbringing on the south side of Chicago and the highs and lows of life with Barack Obama. . . Becoming is a 400-page expansion of this essential doctrine [‘when they go low, we go high’], without compromising a refreshing level of honesty — Afua Hirsch ― Guardian
An inspirational memoir that also rings true — Gaby Wood ― Daily Telegraph, Five Stars
This is a rich, entertaining and candid memoir. And overall she’s a fun person to sit alongside as she tells you the story of her life, warts and all. . . it is as beautifully written as any piece of fiction — Viv Groskop ― i, Five Stars
In the best moments of Becoming, the miracle of Michelle Obama arises ― Vanity Fair
Obama’s memoir is a genuine page-turner, full of intimacies and reflections. . . Allied to this candour is a steeliness of purpose. It is no exaggeration to say that every page of this book is, explicitly or otherwise, a reproach to Donald Trump, and a call-to-arms to those who would defeat the 45th President and all that he stands for — Matt D’Ancona ― Evening Standard
