Other Versions of this Book: Paperback, Hardcover
Book Description:
When Haitians tell a story, they say "Krik?" and the eager listeners answer "Krak!" In Krik? Krak! In her second novel, Edwidge Danticat establishes herself as the latest heir to that narrative tradition with nine stories that encompass both the cruelties and the high ideals of Haitian life. They tell of women who continue loving behind prison walls and in the face of unfathomable loss; of a people who resist the brutality of their rulers through the powers of imagination. The result is a collection that outrages, saddens, and transports the reader with its sheer beauty.

Not as good as Breath, Eyes, Memory, but still enjoyable and interesting to learn some of the Haitian culture.

Edwidge Danticat is an extraordinary writer. This book was a series of short stories, but the people were all related in some way. It is my plan to have all of her books sitting on my shelf...they are definitely re-reads!
