Edwidge Danticat' s groundbreaking debut, with new introduction from Booker-prize-winning Bernardine Evaristo. An Oprah Book Club selection' A vision of female solidarity which transcends place and time' Sunday Times' A novel that rewards the reader again and again with small but exquisite and unforgettable epiphanies' Washington Post' Extraordinarily successful' New York Times Book Review' A first novel of precious humanity' IndependentAt the age of twelve, Sophie Caco is sent from her impoverished Haitian village 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 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.
Edwidge Danticat was born in Haiti in 1969 and came to the United States when she was twelve years old. She is the author of numerous books, including Brother, I' m Dying, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award and was a National Book Award finalist; Breath, Eyes, Memory, an Oprah Book Club selection; Krik? Krak!, a National Book Award finalist; The Dew Breaker, winner of the inaugural Story Prize; The Farming of Bones, which won an American Book Award for fiction in 1999; and Claire of the Sea Light. A graduate of Barnard College and the Brown University Writing Program, Danticat now lives in New York.
