In <I>See Now Then</I>, Jamaica Kincaid’s first novel in ten years, a marriage is revealed in all its joys and agonies. This piercing examination of the ways in which the passing of time operates on the human consciousness unfolds gracefully, and Kincaid inhabits each of her characters, a mother and father and their two children living in a small village in New England, as they move between the present, the past, and the future.
