A beautiful narrative. Danticat told each perspective so uniquely and it truly felt as though the characters were speaking directly to you.

An exceptional collection of short stories about the political turmoil and violence witnessed by the people of Haiti. A highly recommended book.

I could use the last portion of the book for my thesis project.
