Welcome to Litsy!

Moving autobiography of spoken word poet Jackie Kay on her journey to discover her biological parents. Born to a Scottish mother and African father, Kay was adopted and brought up by loving white parents in a predominantly white town. Must read. #readsoullit

I enjoyed the book, reading about how the author explored her heritage and what it was like growing up black in Glasgow in the 80s.

New flat vibes! Getting back into my reading swing now that the renovations are finished and I've moved in! #tea #books #bookgeek

"I drift off trying to imagine this other life, the one that I'd have had, had I been placed on the red dust road less travelled by, the one where I'd have been going to Nzagha every Christmas since I was born." (p. 274) #readsoullit #scottishwriter #reddustroad #jackiekay #memoir
