The Autobiography of My Mother by Jamaica Kincaid

4.5

slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

I read this for my thesis and once again, I’m blown away by Jamaica Kincaid’s prose. Her writing is so beautiful and this novel is incredibly layered. I love the nonlinear storytelling and how complicated Xuela is as a main character.
