This book was really good because the author, Frances Temple was able to tell the story of the haitian people and their turbulent times during the early 90's. Personally I was also able to connect to the book because as a haitian, I could really visualize the things that were happening, and the culture of Djo and Jeremie [the main characters of the story]. It was fast reading, but overall, I didn't put it down much because I was able to learn more about Father Aristede and his journey to power as the first democratically elected president of Haiti. Overall it is a really good book.
