5.0 out of 5 stars A moving story, 10 April 2005
By Mikhail "mike" (Raleigh, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Annie John (Paperback)
I consider Annie as one of or perhaps Kincaid's best written novels. It successfully and succinctly describes the unsettling feelings of a young girl growing up into adulthood, who having lived a life sheltered by her parents, must find a path by herself because her parents could not relate to the transition in her life, a transition that is different from the life her parents were used to. This book brilliantly explored the relationship between a mother and her rapidly maturing daughter and will serve as a helpful story to mothers and daughters the world over. This is one enjoyable , emotional and truthful story you will cherish.

Also recommended are: The usurper and Other Stories, Disciples of Fortune, A Small place

5.0 out of 5 stars An Angel guided the authors hand, 13 Jun 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Annie John (Paperback)
A book of wonder. I read the book at one go. Divinely written. Jamaica Kincaid has the most exceptional writing talent, I have ever seen.
A lovely, uplifting novel. A blessing. Food for the soul.
