Review of 'Masters of the dew' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This was a really fantastic novel. Exploring the life and struggles of peasant communities in Haiti, and eloquently discussing the struggles of collectivization, mutual aid and family feuds.

I would definitely recommend this as a novel exploring the application of mutual aid and organizing outside the work place. It's very much a book of a time and place, but constructs an awesome story of roadblocks, feuds, and traditions coming in the way of a better life for all.
