Haiti : Readers: Haiti in Literature

[Niria]

Anyone have any book suggestions?

Books can be fiction, non-fiction, autobiography, social issues, short stories, poems etc -- just as long as it's based on Haiti.

Here are two books, both written by Edwidge Danticat, that I read in early December.


1. Breath, Eyes, Memory

2. The Dew Breaker

Please share!

Great thread idea, I'm sure the bookworms will eat this one up...Be patient, they are coming.

I read it a few years back, but I can't recall much of it. I will read it again sometime soon. Thank you for your book suggestions!
