A Wedding in Haiti: the Story of a Friendship

Author: Julia Alverez
Stars: 4
Review by: Tartu

The author recounts her friendship with a young Haitian working
on their coffee plantation in the Dominican Republic as he grows into a
young man, marries, has a family and continues to face the abject
poverty and natural disasters in Haiti.   Alvarez is a very lyrical
writer and lends a certain beauty to the island and its people.
