“‘Being Haitian means to be born in blood,’ Jean D’Amérique has written. A Sun to Be Sewn, like D’Amérique’s other novels, poetry, and theatrical works, immerses us in that blood, but he refuses to let his characters be silenced. His words haunt us with the subtlety, nuance, and lyricism that our beautiful and aching country not only inspires, but demands. Jean D’Amérique is a very talented writer and A Sun to Be Sewn is an unforgettable novel.”
