A story of a marriage, Jamaica Kincaid's See Now Then is one of her most emotionally and thematically daring works.
Mr and Mrs Sweet live in a house in the small town of Bennington, New England. While Mr Sweet grew up in the dining rooms of the Plaza Hotel and in the audience of the city ballet, Mrs Sweet arrived in the United States on a banana boat, sailing from Dominica.
A blazing, unflinching portrait of a couple trying to make sense of the relationship they've settled for, See Now Then is the first novel in a decade from Jamaica Kincaid, one of today's most celebrated writers.
Now in the Picador Collection.
