For 10 points, name this Antiguan author of Annie John, Lucy, and "Girl."
One of this author's characters wishes that she was named after a Bronte sister; that girl hated having to memorize Wordsworth poems because she never saw daffodils until much later in life. Another work by this author advises the listener to spit up in the air and move so it doesn't fall on you. One of this author's characters is disciplined for defacing a picture of Columbus and falls in love with the Red Girl and Gwen, while another semi-autobiographical character becomes an au pair to the wealthy American couple Lewis and Mariah. In another work, the speaker forbids the listener from (*) singing benna or becoming a "slut" and tells her "this is how you sweep a whole house" in a long series of disapproving instructions from a mother to a daughter.
