Beautiful, moving and insightful. I’m so glad I got a copy with the author’s reflection on the work 20 years later. She provided so much insights on the work after the fact. The story touched me — misunderstood trauma passed down, complicated grief and loss, love, rage and misplaced anger that grows in silence alongside beautiful daffodils and hibiscus. Made me deeply consider the harshness and beauty passed down through generations of Caribbean women. Breath, Eyes, Memory is special. Big shout outs to Donna Bailey Nurse and What's a Black Critic to Do? for putting me on to Danticat and so many others!
