A review by balletbookworm
Hadriana in All My Dreams by René Depestre

3.0

Rec'd to me by I think Sharifa, and this is a really interesting historical story set among a village in Haiti by an author from that culture. The wake/Mardi Gras (? I think it's Mardi Gras, the last day before Lent?) section was so vividly written, absolutely worth the read.

But as a horror/zombie story? Eh. Even the zombie elements didn't match from one part of the book to another. The most horrifying part of the story was how objectified all the women were, especially Hadriana.

Also, as an editing note: the copyeditor kept mixing up "principle" with "principal"
