Written long before he started down the road to the Presidency, Dreams From My Father is a refreshing, revealing portrait of a young man asking the big questions about identity and belonging.

The son of a black African father and a white American mother, Obama recounts an emotional odyssey. He retraces the migration of his mother’s family from Kansas to Hawaii, then to his childhood home in Indonesia. Finally he travels to Kenya, where he confronts the bitter truth of his father’s life and at last reconciles his divided inheritance.

‘This may be the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician.’
Joe Klein, Time

In The Audacity of Hope, Barack Obama discusses the importance of empathy in politics, his hopes for a different America with different policies, and how the ideals of democracy can be renewed.

With intimacy and self-deprecating humour, Obama describes his experiences as a politician, about balancing his family life and his public vocation.

‘Offers readers on this side of the Atlantic a window not just into the mind of one of America’s most exciting politicians but into the political landscape of the post-Bush era.’ David Lammy, Guardian

As with Bunny Munro, both these apps feature the highest quality of design and typesetting, including control of type size and font, night mode, tilt scroll and many other features.

Both apps are available in the App Store now.
