He falls in love. Judge Berthier, who is none other than the father of Brune, perhaps one of the few of his profession to have remained totally honest despite the risks, has just been murdered. Brune tries to continue her journey despite the pain, the shock, the thirst for understanding. However, she does not resign herself, despite the advice that her boyfriend Cyprien, who is also a former student of her father, gives her. She is slowly recovering, but tries to understand, to know why this man who taught her everything - music, love, demand - died so violently .. She is helped in this by Peter, her uncle. He also lives on the margins of Haitian society, he has had to go into exile for many years, because his homosexuality presented a risk for him as much as for his family. So even if everything tells them that this investigation is doomed to fail, that the truth cannot emerge from lowlands or mystery, horror or misery, everyone tries to understand to rebuild. They are assisted and supported by a circle of friends, close and faithful. This investigation, and its characters coming from so different backgrounds with strong characters, are a perfect alibi for the author who will make us discover the hidden face of this island which is neither heavenly nor horrible, but a subtle mix of all of this. Where corruption and misery seem to reign, poverty and loneliness, the author gradually distils the sordid reasons that led to the murder, dissects the relations between those who, righteous or rogue, rub shoulders for better and for worse those who have successful. In Port-au-Prince, the lungs of the island, everyone seeks a new breath to escape poverty, in this landscape that is neither idyllic nor catastrophic, and whose reader feels all the energy and breath bubbling with vitality.--Translation of Resume by Domi C Read. 650 0 $a Women singers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Children of murder victims $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Port-au-Prince (Haiti), $e setting. 650 7 $a Children of murder victims. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00855464 650 7 $a Women singers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178528 651 7 $a Haiti $z Port-au-Prince. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205704 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116022627.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A22E736A580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
