Mr. Potter (2002) is a novel by Antiguan born writer Jamaica Kincaid.
 The book has twelve parts with no title and the author narrates how it is to be a girl that grew without having a father and how this fact reflected on her.
 Prose and poem are mixed in this memoir, so the genre is very difficult to define.
 The author narrates the story in a way that time and space are all blurred as we get totally immersed in her flashbacks.
 The circular style with powerful metaphors and repetitions is part of Kincaid’s way of writing, which keeps the reader more and more involved with the story.
 It is a quest for legacy, for forgiveness and identity that changes at the end, where we realize that this is not the story of her father at all, but it is her story instead, or should we say history?
