Synopsis
"Simply brilliant! It's like reading Tolstoy with a tropical twist!" —Amanda E. Keller, Kingstown's Editorial.
"A masterful fictional twist to the Haitian Revolution—this is historical fiction done right!" —Herbert C. Gudjohnson, The Evening Papers.
This novel simulates an autobiographical discourse and opens up with the main character, Ezili, narrating her childhood while alluding to the mystery surrounding her mother's identity. Her heart-wrenching memories offer poignant reflections on resilience and freedom against the backdrop of historical injustices. From beginning to end, the evocative storytelling immerses you in a richly textured and culturally sound world of transformation and emancipation. Ezili embodies all the forgotten warriors of the Haitian Revolution, and her journey parallels the prowesses of other better-known heroes such as Jean Jacques Dessalines, Capois, and Toussaint Louverture. Yet, her story is unique; fictional elements and historical events intertwine effortlessly to offer a thrilling, entertaining, yet historically sound novel.
