About this item

"One-of-a-kind...[A] ribald, free-wheeling magical-realist novel, first published in 1988 and newly, engagingly translated by Glover...An icon of Haitian literature serves up a hotblooded, rib-ticking, warmhearted mlange of ghost story, cultural inquiry, folk art, and vritable l'amour."--Kirkus Reviews, Starred review"You've never read about a zombie like Hadriana. Transformed into the walking dead on her wedding day, Hadriana becomes part of popular legend, one imbued with magic, eroticism, and even humor."--Tor.com"You do not need to believe in zombies or Vodou to be carried away by this story - a metaphor for all forms of dispossession. . . . Ren Depestre has gone beyond nostalgia to write a sumptuous love story."--Le MondeWith a foreword by Edwidge Danticat.
