9788556522030ALFAGUARA. new. Publicado em 1985 Annie John Ǹ um romance intimista e poderoso sobre rela����es familiares autodescoberta e identidade. Ao narrar a trajet��ria da jovem Annie para a vida adulta em Ant�gua Jamaica Kincaid � um dos maiores nomes da literatura caribenha � usa sua prosa l�rica e marcante para tratar de temas universais de feminismo e de colonialismo. Filha �nica Annie John vive uma inf�ncia feliz e repleta de brincadeiras em uma casa constru�da pelo pai com jantares em fam�lia patos e galinhas d�angola no quintal. A m�e uma presen��a poderosa Ǹ o centro da exist�ncia da menina e as duas s�o inseparǭveis neste pequeno para�so. Tudo muda radicalmente quando Annie completa doze anos e passa a questionar os pressupostos culturais de seu mundo contestar os papǸis sociais e confrontar a autoridade. Mas o maior choque vem na rela��o com a m�e. Antes harmoniosa e cheia de cumplicidade a conviv�ncia das duas Ǹ tomada por estranhamentos pequenos conflitos e ressentimentos. Ainda que ambas queiram retomar a din�mica pac�fica de antes uma nova ordem desconhecida e inc�moda se instaura entre elas. Escrita pouco depois do Caribe se tornar independente do Reino Unido a obra lan��a um olhar agu��ado e perspicaz sobre temǭticas turbulentas � tanto na esfera social ao expor a rela��o opressora entre colonizadores e colonizados quanto nos aspectos mais particulares de seus personagens como o amadurecimento e o v�nculo entre m�e e filha. Em uma prosa imersiva que muitas vezes soa atemporal Kincaid mergulha fundo nos pensamentos ang�stias e anseios da protagonista evocando mem��rias de rela����es familiares e de Ant�gua � onde nasceu e viveu atǸ os dezessete anos � para construir uma narrativa intimista e poderosa.
