Lucy Free Audiobook Download by Jamaica Kincaid

A wonderfully innovative piece of literature that presents a really interesting perspective on how the human psyche can be shaped by circumstance.

Jamaica Kincaid was born in 1948 in Kingston, Jamaica. She is the author of many short stories, novels and essays. In this audiobook, she tells a story about a young woman named Lucy who gets pregnant as a teenager and decides to have an abortion. Her choice to terminate her pregnancy is what causes her to find herself living on the streets and struggling with mental illness for years.

Lucy, a young girl living in Antigua, the capital of the island of Jamaica, is told by her mother that she is not allowed to have dreams. Her mother tells her tales of what really happened when Lucy was born, even though her mother has these lies. Lucy's mother keeps telling her stories of how she and her father were going to take Lucy on a trip to America with their family as they were leaving their old house to go live next door. The narrator goes back and forth between what actually happened and what was told to the young girl by her mother.

Lucy is a story about a young girl who goes from being very poor to becoming an educated, successful woman. It tells the story of her life through her eyes and the environment she's surrounded by.

Lucy is the story of a young girl growing up in a small town in America during the 1970s. She lives with her parents and her paternal grandmother. Lucy has a difficult time understanding the world around her, especially as she sees people living "normal" lives that don't seem to have many struggles. Her parents are absent-minded and Lucy's life is chaotic, but she doesn't notice any of it.

Jamaica Kincaid's book is among many other works of hers that have been adapted for the audiobook format. This particular audiobook follows the narrator as she recounts her life with Lucy, her dog, as she leaves Jamaica and visits Paris.
