I found this book delightful! The writing style is clear and intentional, the story lines are gripping and unpredictable. Perfect book for getting out of a reading slump.

This book can be finished in a day but I recommend having some stories sit and steep. Very diverse and interesting tales of the Haitian diaspora.
