A review by mikelchartier
Claire of the Sea Light by Edwidge Danticat
4.0
Colloquial stories around a small girl who's being given up by her destitute father in hopes of giving her a better life. While each story involves many of the same characters, none of them really contribute to a larger narrative.
That isn't a bad thing. All these stories add up to more than the sum of their parts due to the soaring prose found throughout (which contributes more to the rating than the story itself). So don't let the amount of time it took me to read it convince otherwise, Danticat is definitely worth your time.
