Breath, Eyes, Memory by Edwidge Danticat is a novel about a young girl who grows up in Haiti, then moves to New York to be with her mother when she is twelve..
Danticat is an wonderful writer. She also moved from Haiti to the U.S. when she was twelve and began writing only two years later. Her writing is sparse, poetic, evocative.
The novel is filled with beauty and sadness. A powerful story by an amazing writer. Highly recommended.
