Summary
In this sad tale from Haitian novelist Trouillot, siblings Colin and Marila, slum children of Port-au-Prince, live in fear of their violent father, Corazn-until the day they beat him to death to protect their mother, Josephine. In short chapters, each one long paragraph in length, Trouillot channels the desperate and sometimes disconnected, floating feelings of young, needy Colin as he and Marila, the elder at 16, flee the scene of the crime.
