Lewis and Mariah are a thrice-blessed couple--handsome, rich, and seemingly happy. Yet, almost at once, Lucy begins to notice cracks in their beautiful fac?ade. With mingled anger and compassion, Lucy scrutinizes the assumptions and verities of her employers' world and compares them with the vivid realities of her native place. Lucy has no illusions about her own past, but neither is she prepared to be deceived about where she presently is. At the same time that Lucy is coming to terms with Lewis's and Mariah's lives, she is also unraveling the mysteries of her own sexuality. Gradually a new person unfolds: passionate, forthright, and disarmingly honest. In Lucy, Jamaica Kincaid has created a startling new character possessed with adamantine clear-sightedness and ferocious integrity--a captivating heroine for our time. 650 4 $a Fiction $x Compact discs. 650 4 $a Compact discs $x Unabridged. 700 1 $a Miles, Robin. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20170711014012.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9CE60D5465FE11E7A50F4DAADAD10320 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
