Awarded the Prix Femina in 2014, a prestigious annual French literary prize chosen by an all-female jury of 22 writers from the magazine Femina (they don't just pick women authors to win).
A rare example of a work of Haitian literature published in the US, this is a PERFECT starting point for anyone curious about where to start in reading not just Haitian literature, but all Caribbean literature (from Junot Diaz to Gabriel Garcia Marquez).
An important glimpse into the lives of the voiceless living in Haiti: especially lowerclass women.
Relevant to the feminist landscape of today, giving voices to those women who suffered through invisibility.

Quotes

  • Nabila Chrysantdirahas quoted6 years ago
    uch it was that, on this dawning day in Ti Pistache, not far from Anse Bleue, a village of rock, salt, and water nestled at the feet of the high mountains of Haiti, Tertulien Mésidor, master of his estate, was shaken to his core by the sight of Olmène Dorival, the peasant girl nonchalantly crouched on her heels, facing a basket of fish, vegetables, and provisions at a distant market in the countryside.
