It was a little difficult the follow the plot of this story. It may be because the audio is harder to go back and forth to review and re listen but it seemed that the beginning was filled with metaphors and symbolism that I didn’t understand, but made more sense as I continued to listen. There were also a lot of characters to juggle and the different languages spoken were challenging but were much better received in the audio version as opposed to reading the physical book.

This is a very strong and powerful work of fiction. I listened to the audio book and found the narrator was brilliant at the female parts but I did get confused when it got to the males voices as they didn't change and i thought they were still women. I would of been 5 stars if there was a male and female narrator.
This novel was inspired by the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. The author follows the lives of a number of people who will be affected in different ways because of the disaster. This book really shocked me at the extend of the disaster and its wrote with such passion and really portrays how devastating disaster can be. The author creates real life characters that are both believable and that you feel a connection with. This makes it read like a non fiction book, which I always like. This book is an emotional and shocking tale that I and really am glad I read.
