A review by kamckim
Annie John by Jamaica Kincaid

3.0

I really didn’t think it was that big of a deal. Some passages were interesting in a Jungian way, but I can’t identify with any of Kincaid’s mother-daughter dynamics. I need to do some more reading and critical research to understand it. I’ve always felt that my mother’s home is my home, and I’m happy to say that I’m grateful for her love and support over these years. I don’t think I’ve ever been “ambivalent” about our relationship. My story is not another’s story, though, so I’m glad to have heard someone else in her own voice.
