Book - Breath, Eyes, Memory: A Novel, by Edwidge Danticat

Paperback, 1994. Gently used/vintage condition. The cover shows minor cosmetic wear, color-fading, and a couple of creases, and the pages are aged appropriate to the year of publication, but the spine and pages are all solid and intact. No writing or highlighting, no torn or missing pages. "A passionate journey charged with the supernatural, through a landscape scarred by political violence. At the age of 12 Sophie Caco is sent from her impoverished village of Croix-des-Rosets to New York, to be reunited with a mother she barely remembers. There she discovers secrets that no child should ever know, and a legacy of shame that can be healed only when she returns to Haiti. This is a novel that bears witness to the traditions, suffering, and wisdom of an entire people."
