Description
“Tonight, I have spiders in my head. I question myself more and more. Lisa’s mania for digging into the past is infecting me. As for me, it’s my own that I’d like to know. For my mother to tell me about the events that concern us, those that explain the breakup of the family, the photos that are missing from the album, the silence in which I grew up, our isolation from the Haitian community in Montreal.” It is said that terror is transmitted in the genes, that spirits never die and that the lwas can carry their messages beyond borders. In this novel of Haitian Montreal, children of immigrants cannot escape their unacknowledged heritage. Political refugees, wealthy fugitives, orphans searching for the origin of their marks cross paths, in a family portrait that is as tender as it is tragic. How can one continue to live despite suspicion, despite impunity? At Éditions du remue-ménage, she published Mémoire d’une amnésique (2004), La Célestine (2007) and Mémoire errante (2008).
