"Someone says Krik? Your answer, Krak! And they say, I have many stories I could tell you, and then they go on and tell these stories to you, but mostly to themselves." With nine stories that encompass both the cruelties and the high ideals of Haitian life, Krik Krak was such a heartbreaking read for me but beautifully written with rich Haitian history, especially on Haitian women. Some of my favorite stories from the collection are Children Of The Sea, Caroline's Wedding, and Women Like Us.
