Annie John: A Novel by Kincaid, Jamaica

Format: Trade Paperback

Published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1997

Annie John is a haunting and provocative story of a young girl growing up on the island of Antigua. A classic coming-of-age story in the tradition of The Catcher in the Rye and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Kincaid’s novel focuses on a universal, tragic, and often comic theme: the loss of childhood. Annie’s voice-urgent, demanding to be heard-is one that will not soon be forgotten by readers.
