Edwidge Danticat's groundbreaking debut, with new introduction from
Booker Prize winner Bernardine Evaristo. An Oprah Book Club
selection 'A vision of female solidarity which transcends place and
time' Sunday Times 'A novel that rewards the reader again and again
with small but exquisite and unforgettable epiphanies' Washington
Post 'Extraordinarily successful' New York Times Book Review 'A
first novel of precious humanity' Independent At the age of twelve,
Sophie Caco is sent from her impoverished Haitian village to New
York to be reunited with a mother she barely remembers. There she
discovers secrets that no child should ever know, and a legacy of
shame that can be healed only when she returns to Haiti - to the
women who first reared her. What ensues is a passionate journey
through a landscape charged with the supernatural and scarred by
political violence. In her stunning literary debut, Danticat evokes
the wonder, terror, and heartache of her native Haiti - and the
enduring strength of Haiti's women - with vibrant imagery and
narrative grace that bear witness to her people's suffering and
courage.
