A Small Place | Jamaica Kincaid

My #IslandVibe #TitlesAndTunes selection is so good and eye opening. Kincaid writes a critique of #Antigua and those who colonized the small island and how that colonization has shaped it. This is a memoir, so it‘s a very personal examination. One can feel her emotions. It‘s a must read. #ReadTheAmericas2023 #192025 #1988

Librarybelle Hope you enjoy, @BarbaraBB @Daisey ! It is less than 100 pages, so very quick read, but also very contemplative. 11mo

I found this read to be very engaging and I'm a suckered for a family-esq saga. The writing is very lyrical and I didn't feel much if anything was lost with the translation. I selected this for #Mexico Read for the #ReadTheAmericas2023 challenge. Truly a solid 🌟🌟🌟🌟 read. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks @Librarybelle @BarbaraBB

Librarybelle Good choice! 13mo
Reggie I really liked this but it definitely had a slower pace than I‘m used to. 13mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 13mo
KristiAhlers @Reggie I think that's why I sometimes like saga like stories because they can be a bit slower. 13mo
