“Reading Edwidge Danticat’s first novel, Breath, Eyes, Memory, for the first time in 2015 is a remarkable experience. Julia Alvarez, author of In the Time of the Butterflies “Written in prose as clear as a bell, magical as a butterfly, and resonant as drum talk. “A novel that rewards the reader again and again with small but exquisite and unforgettable epiphanies.” “Danticat’s calm clarity of vision takes on the resonance of folk art.

Danticat’s elegant, intricate tale wraps readers into the haunting life of a young Haitian girl.”
