This is an incredible collection of stories. It’s amazing how Danticat Is able to conjure such well-rounded characters, times and places in so few pages. She helps the characters extend into a past, present and future so that you can see the narrative in greater time and space, and yet does not skimp on making the present vivid and her narrative tangible. She touches on AIDS, immigration, refugees, natural disasters, grief and loss as well as resilience, hope and love. There is so much meat packed into this fast paced and absorbing book.
