Krik? Krak!
by Edwidge Danticat
April 2018
This was an interesting re-read for me because based on the review below, I didn't enjoy it too much the first time. Eight years later, I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would. I love how each story reads like a book and how engaging the characters are. Some of my favorite stories were:
Children of the Sea
A Wall of Fire Rising
Between the Pool and the Gardenias
Seeing things Simply
New York Day Women
Caroline Wedding
Women Like Us
First book by Danticat and I am intrigued. I liked the book but I didn’t love it, even though it had all the elements of a great book. It was set in the Caribbean, written by a Caribbean author and mostly women were at the center piece of the stories. I liked the very first story, because it gave the Krik Krak appeal, where there were two narrators telling two stories, I thought it would be like that throughout the book, it wasn’t.
Aside from that, a good read.
