Jamaica Kincaid writes very poetically. I feel that Caribbean mother's and daughters have a love hate relationship that is Passed down from generation to generation. Expressions of love are rarely displayed while growing up and you won't understand until you're an adult withstruggles of your won. Then, you realize your much alike-it' your mother after all. Ms. Kincaid describes this tug of war beautifully. Along, with their relationship with community and its surroundings.

I also, love Robin Miles' narration.
