هذا الكتاب تنقيبٌ عن مناطق غير مألوفة في عقل أم كلثوم الناقد والمبتكر، وفي النص الشعري الذي غنّته على امتداد عمرها في الغناء. وهو كشفٌ عن قدرتها على الانتقاء والاختيار والتأليف، وعن طبيعة النصوص التي قدّمتها بوعي ورؤية واقتدار. تقول عن كاتبها المفضل: "الكاتب المفضل عندي هو طه حسين. فكتاباته فيها رقة الشعر وموسيقاه. وكلما قرأت كتابه "الأيام" أحسست أني أمام شاعر حساس موهوب؛ كلماته غنية بالأنغام؛ غنية بالأصالة الشعرية. وهو في حقيقته مجموعة من القصائد الجميلة البديعة. طه حسين هو الكاتب الشاعر". ويقول طه حسين عنها "أسهمت أم كلثوم عندما غنّت القصيدة في إثبات جمال العربية وطواعية موسيقاها، حتى في أصعب الكلمات لموسيقى الغناء. كان لصوتها فضل في انتشار الشعر العربي على ألسنة العامة والخاصة".
