Edwidge Danticat wrote this fiction book, Breath, Eyes, Memory, in 1994 when she was just 25 years old. She has written several other books--both fiction and memoir since. She is Haitian American. Reading her book will give you a window into that troubled country, her culture, and the courage of the immigrants who come to America for a new life. I heard her speak several years ago in Seattle at Benaroya Hall when she was a featured speaker in the Arts and Lectures series. She was inspiring to hear and learn about her work as a novelist. There was an interview with her in The New Yorker after the earthquake in Haiti in January.Ted Talks by Edwidge Danticat
