Lucy Audiobook (Free)

The coming-of-age story of one of Jamaica Kincaid’s most admired creations

Lucy, a teenage lady from the Western world Indies, involves THE UNITED STATES to work as an au pair for Lewis and Mariah and their four kids. Lewis and Mariah certainly are a thrice-blessed couple-handsome, rich, and seemingly happy. Yet, almost at once, Lucy begins to note cracks in their gorgeous façade. With mingled anger and compassion, Lucy scrutinizes the assumptions and verities of her companies’ world and compares them with the stunning realities of her native place. Lucy has no illusions about her very own past, but neither is normally she prepared to become deceived about where she currently is.

At the same time that Lucy is arriving at terms with Lewis’s and Mariah’s lives, she actually is also unraveling the mysteries of her own sexuality. Steadily a fresh person unfolds: passionate, forthright, and disarmingly honest. In Lucy, Jamaica Kincaid has generated a startling brand-new character possessed with adamantine clear-sightedness and ferocious integrity-a fascinating heroine for our time.
