Industry reviews
"Her work...conveys the mysterious power and childhood attachments to mother, father, and friends, and the adolescent beginnings of separation from them."
Boston Herald - Paula Bonnell (03/31/1985)

"She is a consummate balancer of feeling and craft. She takes not short or long cuts, breathes no windy pomposities: she contents herself with being direct."
Voice Literary Supplement - Jacqueline Austin (04/19/1985)

"'Annie John' is technically a work of memory, but you read it as though it were written in the active past. That is one of the interesting things Kincaid can do with the voice of her narrator. Annie is talking about what happened when she was 10, 12, 15, then 16. The novel is constructed as a series of eight pointed episodes. You see her grow up. Incidents accumulate and the narrator, mesmerized by her observations, prolongs the moments being described and thus injects suspense into this tale of a restricted life and the need to rebel."
New York Review of Books - Darryl Pinckney (03/21/1996)

"In both ['Annie John' and 'Lucy'] the specter of the mother dominates. Viewed through the unforgiving lens of a daughter's disenchantment, the mother remains a strange figure, without her own actions or dialogue, a vessel filled with directed animosity."
San Francisco Review of Books - Wendell Steavenson
