Annie John

Annie John was a short but powerful read, filled with little moments that lingered with me. What stood out most was the evolving relationship between Annie and her mother- its depth, tension, and raw portrayal of how family dynamics shift as you grow up and carve out your own identity. Kincaid captures the push and pull of adolescence so vividly that I found myself reflecting on my own experiences. It's a book that stays with you, not because of grand, sweeping moments but because of the quiet, deeply personal ones.
