A review by theeuphoriczat
At the Bottom of the River by Jamaica Kincaid
3.0
"For in isolation I am all purpose and industry and determination and prudence, as if I were the single survivor of a species whose evolutionary history can be traced to the most ancients; in isolation I ruthlessly plow the deep silences, seeking my opportunities like a miner seeking veins of treasure."
Woah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe that I had never read any of her works. The power in her pen was lightening!
This is a collection of short stories that explore a range of relationships, that of mother and daughter, person and nature, guilt and destruction, and the significance and nonfinality of things like death. It is quite amazing.
*Thanks to Picador for gifting me this book!
