Lucy is narrated from the point of view of a 19-year-old woman just having moved to the U.S. to go to school and work as a nanny after growing up on an island in the West Indies. Lucy's voice starkly and poetically captures her inner turmoil resulting from the pressure of social expectations put upon women as well as the obstacles she faces adapting to a different culture and lifestyle.
