Breath, Eyes, Memory -- Edwidge Danticat

<b>The 20th anniversary edition of Edwidge Danticat's groundbreaking debut, now an established classic--revised and with a new introduction by the author, and including extensive bonus materials</b> <p/>At the age of twelve, Sophie Caco is sent from her impoverished Haitian village to New York to be reunited with a mother she barely remembers. There she discovers secrets that no child should ever know, and a legacy of shame that can be healed only when she returns to Haiti--to the women who first reared her. What ensues is a passionate journey through a landscape charged with the supernatural and scarred by political violence. In her stunning literary debut, Danticat evokes the wonder, terror, and heartache of her native Haiti--and the enduring strength of Haiti's women--with vibrant imagery and narrative grace that bear witness to her people's suffering and courage.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Edwidge Danticat<br><b>Publisher:</b> Soho Press<br><b>Published:</b> 02/24/2015<br><b>Pages:</b> 288<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.55lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.20h x 5.50w x 0.80d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781616955021<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 4.6<br><b>Point Value:</b> 8<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>25937 / Breath, Eyes, Memory<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Edwidge Danticat</b> is the author of numerous books, including <i>Brother, I'm Dying</i>, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award and was a
