This is such a beautifully haunting collection of stories, and I really loved this. The writing was captivatingly beautiful and the stories were absolutely heartbreaking. These are set during a few different time periods in Haiti's history, but they are mostly centered around a time when a regime was in power that was characterized by violence and death as the tyrant was estimated to have killed around 60,000 Haitians. This is an incredible collection because it is born out of that time and does show some of the horrors of the time period while also managing to show a little bit of light in this dark period in history. I just really recommend this because it is just so good.
