Breath, Eyes, Memory

Breath, Eyes, Memory

The 20th anniversary edition of Edwidge Danticat's groundbreaking debut, now an established classic--revised and with a new introduction by the author, and including extensive bonus materials

At the age of twelve, Sophie Caco is sent from her impoverished Haitian village to New York to be reunited with a mother she barely remembers. There she discovers secrets that no child should ever know, and a legacy of shame that can be healed only when she returns to Haitiâ€”to the women who first reared her. What ensues is a passionate journey through a landscape charged with the supernatural and scarred by political violence. In her stunning literary debut, Danticat evokes the wonder, terror, and heartache of her native Haitiâ€”and the enduring strength of Haitiâ€™s womenâ€”with vibrant imagery and narrative grace that bear witness to her peopleâ€™s suffering and courage.
