Trade Review"In language both sumptuous and biting, Haitian university professor Trouillot gives us insight into New World slavery by telling the story of a Creole slave in 1750 Saint-Domingue."—Barbara Hoffert,
Library Journal"An uplifting homage to people loving one another and creating relationships under the most dire of circumstances."—
Historical Novel Society"Those who read Trouillot's novel in the English can do so as a result of the astute choices made by translator M.A. Salvadon and her sensitivity to the subject matter of the original text. . . . She has done the good deed and work of enabling more readers to access the work of the versatile and prolific contemporary Haitian writer, Évelyne Trouillot."—Danielle Legros Georges,
