Více o knize

Exploring the complex theme of coming-of-age, Jamaica Kincaid's novels—Annie John, Lucy, and Autobiography of My Mother—delve into the struggles of female adolescents as they seek independence from their mothers. Set against the backdrop of post-colonial Antigua, the narratives reflect the lingering effects of racism and rewrite Caribbean history through a West Indies lens. Kincaid's protagonists navigate their identities within this rich social landscape, making her work resonate with universal themes of growth and self-discovery.
