Winner of the 2014 Prix Fémina & 2015 French Voices Award
After she is found washed up on shore, Cétoute Olmène Thérèse,
bloody and bruised, recalls the circumstances that led her there.
Her voice weaves hauntingly in and out of the narrative, as her
story intertwines with those of three generations of women in her
family, beginning with Olmène, her grandmother. Olmène, barely
sixteen, catches the eye of the cruel and powerful Tertulien
Mésidor, despite the generations-long feud between their families
which cast her ancestors into poverty. He promises her shoes,
dresses, land, and children who will want for nothing…and five
months after moving into her new home, she gives birth to a son. As
the family struggles through political and economic turmoil, the
narrative shifts between the voices of four women, their lives
interwoven with magic and fraught equally with hope and despair,
leading to Cétoute’s ultimate, tragic fate. Yanick Lahens was
born in Port-au-Prince in 1953 and is one of Haiti’s most
prominent authors. She published her first novel in 2000, was
awarded the prestigious Prix Femina in 2014 for Moonbath, and is
the 2016 winner of a French Voices Award.
