Jamaica Kincaid writes fiction, memoir and essays about colonialism, family, Antigua, migration and difficult relationships between mothers and daughters. Annie John follows a girl growing up in Antigua as closeness with her mother gives way to rebellion and separation, while Lucy moves a young Antiguan woman to North America as an au pair. A Small Place is a short, confrontational essay about tourism and colonial history in Antigua, and The Autobiography of My Mother turns family absence into a darker novel. Kincaid's prose is lyrical, repetitive and sharply controlled. Her books suit Caribbean literature, postcolonial writing and family-centred literary fiction. Read more Less
