PlotMr. and Mrs. Sweet live in a house formerly owned by Shirley Jackson with their two children Persephone and Heracles. As Mr. Sweet begins to grow bitter with his marriage Mrs. Sweet sinks into a depression. ReceptionDwight Garner writing for The New York Times called it "the kind of lumpy exorcism that many writers would have composed and then allowed to remain unpublished."[2] The A.V. Club gave it a B- grade but criticized the work as "long-winded and unnecessarily repetitive."[3] NPR gave a more generous review saying that it was "one of the most damning retaliations by a jilted wife since Nora Ephron's Heartburn."[4]Kincaid hit back at the criticism saying that ""It's painful, in its way, to be dismissed because, 'Well, it's about her marriage and revenge or something.' It's not that at all."[5] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Lee|first1=Felicia R.|title=Never Mind the Parallels, Don’t Read It as My Life|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/05/books/jamaica-kincaid-isnt-writing-about-her-life-she-says.html?ref=topics&_r=0&gwh=D49A689052ADF85CB98276BEB911C1DE|accessdate=20 April 2015}} 2. ^{{cite web|last1=Garner|first1=Dwight|title=The Marriage Has Ended; Revenge Begins|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/13/books/see-now-then-jamaica-kincaids-new-novel.html|accessdate=20 April 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=McFarland|first1=Kevin|title=Jamaica Kincaid: See Now Then|url=http://www.avclub.com/review/jamaica-kincaid-emsee-now-then-em-93790|accessdate=21 April 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=MCALPIN|first1=HELLER|title=Writing Well Is The Wronged Wife's Revenge In 'See Now Then'|url=https://www.npr.org/2013/02/05/170553462/writing-well-is-the-wronged-wifes-revenge-in-see-now-then|accessdate=21 April 2015}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Time Rules In Jamaica Kincaid's New Novel, 'See Now Then'|url=https://www.npr.org/2013/03/03/173086194/time-rules-in-jamaica-kincaids-new-novel-see-now-then|accessdate=20 April 2015}} 1 : 2013 American novels |
