Acclaim for A Small Place

“A loving explanation … a small book full of big ideas.”

—New York Newsday

“This is truth, beautifully and powerfully stated … In truly lyrical language that makes you read aloud, [Kincaid] takes you from the dizzying blue of the Caribbean to the sewage of hotels and clubs where black Antiguans are only allowed to work … Truth, wisdom, insight, outrage, and cutting wit.”

—The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“Like ‘The Ancient Mariner’ in Coleridge’s poem, Kincaid will not let you go until you’ve heard her tale.”

—Boston Herald

“Wonderful reading … Tells more about the Caribbean in 80 pages than all the guidebooks.”

—The Philadelphia Inquirer

“Intimate … emotional … beautifully written.”

—The Virginian-Pilot
