Jamaica Kincaid's novel, Lucy, is a story about a girls experience in a new country as a nanny. As a whole, the novel is a little slow moving and at times can be boring. But, the overall story is interesting.
The first person narration from Lucy allows the reader to see exactly how Lucy feels about her new life. Although, the first person point of view shows the reader a very bias and unpleasant view America. At most times the throughout the novel Lucy is unhappy with her new life. She is not a reliable narrator; she hated her old life as well, she was an unsatisfied character.
If you are interested in learning about experiences of immigration, then this would be a great book to read. It will also teach you a little about how new comers sometimes view America.
