The Dew Breaker,
by Edwidge Danticat
This is a terrifically written collection of short stories about a
group of Haitians and their experiences in Haiti and when they left their
homeland. Looming throughout these stories is the presence of the Dew Breaker, a
torturer who loyally served the Duvalier regime. Eventually, the reader realizes
there is a connection among these characters and the final story revolves around
the evil man himself. Danticat has gotten great reviews for this new book.
