I enjoyed these stories a lot. I think they a well written, and the audiobook was well read. I don't know if I came of the experience inspired or overly moved, but I was entertained and interested the entire listen.

More misses than hits for me, but it certainly paints a picture.

Wonderful collection of short stories with settings ranging from Haiti to Miami, NYC, and an imaginary Caribbean island. The imaginary island was a fascinating vision. This is the first work I’ve read by Danticat and it certainly won’t be the last.
