Brother, I'm Dying by Edwidge Danticat

5.0

As I read Brother, I'm Dying, it gradually became clearer and clearer to me that I'd read it before, possibly back in high school around the time I read a few other Danticat works. Normally when I discover I've already read a book I've picked up, I abandon it for something I know is new. I didn't this time, because I felt as engrossed in the tale as if it were new, even when I remembered what was going to happen next. It's an amazingly well-written family autobiography, that reads much like a novel.
