Kric Krac by Edwidge Danticat

This is an evocative account of several generations of Haitian women and voodoo and tradition. It is very true to Haiti and the Haitian diaspora to the U.S. I learned several things about Haitian culture and beliefs. It is written in an interesting style of short paragraphs, sometimes alternating narratives with each paragraph. It is definitely female-centered and speaks volumes about Haitian experience.
