really well written, emotional and truly brutal storytelling of a group of characters all linked in some capacity and their personal experiences in the haiti earthquake. loved the interchanging perspectives and especially the relationships between the women. poignant commentary on first-world relief efforts and aid during disasters, as well as what home, family, and identity mean in the contexts of catastrophe.

It's a really great read—a little traumatic. Everyone is interconnected. If you enjoyed There There by Tommy Orange, you might enjoy this novel. However, I think that for any book club discussion, it would be easier to create a list of the characters and their relations to each other to smooth out any confusion.
