A review by karinlib
The Enigma of the Return by Dany Laferrière

4.0

I had a hard time putting this book down. The main character gets a telephone call in Montreal, telling him that his estranged father has died in Brooklyn. Both father and son are from Haiti, both had fled, at different times the violence. The son returns to Haiti after being gone for 30 years.

I loved that this book was written in both verse and prose.
