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.“Danticat's calm clarity of vision takes on the resonance of folk art. … Extraordinarily successful.”—New York Times Book Review
