The Autobiography of My Mother by Jamaica Kincaid
3.0
In my journey through Jamaica Kincaid's work this year, this stands firmly in the middle (so far). I liked it, but it's not a new favourite. I see ripples of similar themes and refrains in her work and this one fits into that pattern and builds on it. For Jamaica Kincaid fans, this is a good one. If you are new to her work, I recommend <i>A Small Place</i> and <i>Annie John</i>.
Graphic: Racism, Sexual content, Death of parent, and Colonisation
Moderate: Toxic relationship, Abortion, and Pregnancy
