Claire goes missing the night her father agrees to give her up for
adoption. Her mother died when she was born. In the tiny fishing
town of Ville Rose, Haiti, she and her father are not the only ones
to have experienced loss. As the poor townspeople search by
moonlight for the seven-year-old girl, each remembers what death
has stolen from their own lives: a forbidden love cut down by slum
gangsters; a mother whose rare affluence could not save her child.
In prose that shimmers with folkloric imagery, Danticat intertwines
their stories to reveal a deep connection between locals of
distinct classes and creeds. Her vision of modern Haiti makes the
unknowable familiar; like the townspeople, the reader shares a
common humanity - always caught between the darkness and the light.
