"Before, If  I hated someone I simply wished them dead. But I could not wish my mother dead. If my mother died, what would become of me? I couldn't Imagine my life without her. Worse than that If my mother died I would have to die too." - Annie John p.88

There’s a quote that says

 “Fairies have to be one thing or the other, because being so small they unfortunately have room for one feeling only at a time. They are, however, allowed to change, only it must be a complete change…”

That’s my girl Annie

A beautiful coming-of-age story about a young girl growing up in Antigua, Truthfully this is a universal story that could be about just any little girl- friendships, challenges to do what is expected versus what you want to do and most importantly her relationship with her mother and how that changes over her life.  It is beautifully written with deep, well fleshe out characters.
