Some of the  short stories were very thought provoking and I even liked how some of them seemed to link with others. However some of them also felt a Bit slow. I think a reread is needed,  there’s a lot to analyze.

I continue to be amazed by how Danticat can write the most beautiful words on the most brutal subjects. She emotionally destroys me only to put me back together in the next sentence.
