Description

Il y a en Haïti un rite ancestral : le conteur dit " Krik ?" ", l'auditoire répond " Krak !... " et l'histoire commence. En romancière inspirée, Edwidge Danticat connaît les rêves et les pensées secrètes de tous les personnages. Avec eux, elle retrace soixante-dix années de l'histoire de Haîti, sa patrie hantée par la pauvreté, la rage de survivre, la violence aveugle, les abominations de la torture. Ses évocations de l'enfance de la prostitution, de la magie, de la mort, dérangent autant qu'elles fascinent. On navigue sur un fleuve de sang, de lumière et d'espoir.
