Review of 'The Dew Breaker' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Wow Just finished this little book and it was a pretty complicated and devastating read. Tracing the stories of over a dozen people whose lives, families, and friendships were shattered by the violence of Duvalier's Dictatorship in Haiti. Edwidge writes beautifully, drawing us into glimpses of lives lived after trauma and creating an amazing web of empathy and rage that unsettles as the story get more and more complex.
