Jamaica Kincaid | 2002 | Fiction & Poetry, Romance
10.0 (1 Ratings)
Book Favorite

"This is a nuanced and powerful novel about growing up, the mother-daughter relationship, female identity, sexuality, cultural dissonance, privilege, poverty and the pernicious legacy of colonialism. Kincaid’s style is both immediate and headily intense. A glinting, multifaceted work within relatively so few pages."
