The Farming of Bones by Edwidge Danticat

4.0

This book really messed me up. It talks about the purging of Haitians from the Dominican Republic in 1937, and those descriptions are already sad and all, but this book takes a well defined trope often seen in "disaster novels" (where there's a large catastrophe/massacre/terrible event that turns the main character's life upside down) and completely does away with it. A moving novel with historical significance makes this a must read.
