The novel opens in Saint-Domingue (modern day Haiti) on the eve of revolution and portrays the life and experiences of a resilient woman, named Tete. The story spans four decades and explores her experiences as a slave in Saint-Domingue, Cuba, and New Orleans. I found this book to be a mix of engaging and meandering.
