Gay does what she is best at, she ventures into known territories with extreme deft but what is brilliant is that she explores very uncomfortable areas with brutal honesty, yet adequate empathy. Americans almost always use the Haitians, sometimes for comic relief, sometimes for carnal pleasures.

The Haitians who move to America face issues like unemployment and bullying due to skin colour, accent or any other seemingly unimportant reason. This was a topic she developed further in another of her novels, An Untamed State. Stories dedicated to these issues offer insight into life in Haiti, where kidnappings and rape are a part of life. Crime and poverty are ripe so is illegal immigration to Miami. It is rich in culture and natural beauty but it the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Haiti, as Gay,describes is a “land of contradictions”.

She has a scathing and honest insight into experiences that are sometimes routine but sometimes very specific to Haitian diaspora. Gay once again traces back her Haitian roots and beautifully incorporates the experience of her American upbringing in her stories from the perspective of a Haitian immigrant.
