Description
In this searing novel, a privileged Haitian woman's life is violently upended when she is kidnapped and held for ransom by a ruthless gang. As her captors await a payment her powerful father may or may not make, she is forced to confront the brutal realities of her country and the complex, often fraught, relationships that define her existence. Roxane Gay masterfully explores themes of privilege, trauma, and the enduring strength of the human spirit against a backdrop of political and social upheaval.
