'BROTHER I'M DYING by award winning Haitian author Edwidge Danticat. It's about the two men closest to her heart;her father Mira and his older brother Joseph. It looks at the effects of migration and leaving those behind in Haiti as the political situation deterioates in 2004. It is also a story that made headline news worldwide when her 81 year old uncle, fleeing from the brutality of Haiti is imprisoned and dead within days of arriving in the U.S.A.
It is compelling reading.
