Told from a womanist perspective, this multi-layered narrative weaves together the voices of two generations of Haitians, exploring their personal struggles against the backdrop of postcolonial Haiti's violent history. The story delves into six centuries of turmoil, from colonialism and slavery to the aftermath of the Baby Doc regime's fall. The prose rhythm reflects Haitian Creole, enhancing the dramatic unfolding of the characters' lives intertwined by both familial bonds and shared bloodshed.
