With mingled anger and compassion Lucy scrutinizes the assumptions and verities of her employers' world and compares them with the vivid realities of her native place. Lucy has no illusions about her own past but neither is she prepared to be deceived about where she presently is. At the same time that Lucy is coming to terms with Lewis's and Mariah's lives she is also unravelling the mysteries of her own sexuality. Gradually a new person unfolds: passionate forthright and disarmingly honest. In Lucy Jamaica Kincaid has created a startling new character possessed with adamantine clearsightedness and ferocious integrity - a captivating heroine for our time.
