Edwidge Danticat

From the best-selling author of Brother, I'm Dying, a long-awaited return to fiction: a gorgeous collection of stories about community, family, and love; about the forces that pull us together or drive us apart--a book rich with vividly imagined characters, hard-won wisdom, and humanity. In these eight stories--some of which have appeared in The New Yorker--by widely acclaimed, prizewinning author Edwidge Danticat, a romance unexpectedly sparks between two wounded friends; a marriage ends for what seems like noble reasons, but leads to irreparable consequences; a young woman holds on to an impossible dream, even as she fights for her life; two lovers reunite after the biggest tragedy in their country and in their lives. Vividly set in places from Miami to Port-au-Prince to a small unnamed country in the Caribbean and beyond, these beautiful and moving stories showcase one of the world's most renowned voices at her absolute best.
