The second Jamaica Kincaid novel I've read and she's fast becoming a favourite writer. Her seemingly simple storytelling draws the reader in and locks one into such an intense world.

Lucy is a young Black woman who immigrates to the U.S. to work as an au pair to an upper class white couple's four children, and studying at night to be a nurse. This was beautifully written, with vignettes that go back to the protagonist's life before immigrating and the world she's left.
