The Dew Breaker

Danticat has incredible talent. She creates vibrant, realistic, heartbreaking stories. It is because of this that I feel that many of these stories are too short. I was left wanting more. Also, (though this may be my fault) until the last story did not see the subtle connection between the stories. 
That does not take away from the vibrancy of these stories which are drenched in Haitian history and culture.
I highly recommend this book.
