This was a deeply uncomfortable and confronting read, unflinching but not gratuitous, one that exposes the dark underbelly of Haiti and the toll that extracts. It highlights the economic iniquities in that country, the anger and resentment evoked, and showcases one way those tensions play out. I can’t say I enjoyed reading this book - the subject matter precludes that - but I don’t regret the reading experience.
