About this listen

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 12, 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.

This book goes so deep. I love Danticat's courage and tenderness, she finds words that make a heartbreakingly vulnerable intergenerational weaving of women's stories of passed down trauma, the problems of home and migration, of state, colonial, family and patriarchal violence, of the dark complexities of mothering into a powerful powerful freedom song. At its heart, this is a song of resistance, love and the survival of black women whose cultural, spiritual and personal coping strategies form a map older than the mountains. And more current and necessary than ever.

Unmissable. Thank you Edwidge Danticat
