Negative Positive
Title: Heavy, somber prose.
Review: Perhaps the best yet from Danticat but also the darkest. I appreciated the look inside rural Haitian maternal relationships and struggles. The undercurrent of mental illness provided for a dark and somber flow. Not sure if this was a reflection of common Haitian mental health issues or simply one family's experience. The physical transitions between New York and Haiti were interesting and informative. Certainly a book I will recommend. I would also recommend "A Butterfly's Way" by Danticat, for those wanting to explore other issues that challenge the Haitian diaspora.
