«Annie John» is the novel by Jamaica Kincaid, published by Círculo de Lectores in 1989 in paperback (145 pages, in Spanish).
Annie John lives a happy childhood on the Caribbean island of Antigua, very close to her mother, whom she admires. On reaching adolescence, that relationship becomes conflict-ridden and full of silences. The novel portrays her transition towards independence, the search for identity and the complexity of the mother-daughter bond.
The novel was originally published in 1985; this Spanish edition, translated by Héctor Silva, belongs to the Onda Joven collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction and coming-of-age novels, particularly those who appreciate stories about the relationship between mothers and daughters.
Jamaica Kincaid is an Antiguan–American novelist, essayist, gardener, and gardening writer. Born in St. John's, the capital of Antigua and Barbuda, she lives in North Bennington, Vermont, and is Professor of African and African American Studies in Residence Emerita at Harvard University.
