| At an astonishingly young age， Edwidge Danticat has become one of our most celebrated new novelists， a writer who evokes the wonder， terror， and heartache of her native Haiti--and the enduring strength of Haiti s women--with a vibrant imagery and narrative grace that bear witness to her people s suffering and courage.??At the age of twelve， Sophie Caco is sent from her impoverished village of Croix-des-Rosets 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 a novel that bears witness to the traditions， suffering， and wisdom of an entire people. |
