Complicated
The book is comprised of several short stories focused on Haitian culture, immigration, conflict in Haiti, and more. Some of these stories were great (Children of the Sea was an excellent opener), but others were more forgettable.
The overarching topics are still communicated and felt in all of the stories, though.
