Read this as part of reading around the world Haiti. Set in both Haiti and then America this tells the story of a man, his family, women and a house.  Its a very dark visceral book about the treatment of women, migration and trauma. However it,s a very interesting read and developed into a page turner towards the end. The writing is wonderful and  their house is a character who both narrates and watches. .
