A review by askatknits
Island Beneath the Sea by Isabel Allende

4.0

I knew nothing of Haiti, outside knowing of "Baby Doc" Duvalier. But, Allende starts this book in Haiti and she took me on a fascinating journey into the rich setting of Haiti and life there and on to life in New Orleans. I loved Zarite, or Tete, from the beginning when she is just a young child. The topics discussed are thought provoking and this story will stay with me for a long time.
