This challenging, multi-layered story is told from a womanist
perspective through a network of narrative voices encompassing two
generations of Haitians, tied together both by blood relations and
bloodshed. In addition to the characters' personal struggles with
the harsh realities of postcolonial Haiti, the violent history of
the last six centuries of the country, from the brutal years of
colonialism and slavery to the chaotic aftermath of the fall of the
Baby Doc regime, is also explored. The rhythm of the prose echoes
Haitian Creole as this dramatic novel unfolds.
