She and Sebastian, a cane worker, are deeply in love and plan to marry. But Amabelle's world collapses when a wave of genocidal violence, driven by Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo, leads to the slaughter of Haitian workers. Amabelle and Sebastian are separated, and she desperately flees the tide of violence for a Haiti she barely remembers. Already acknowledged as a classic, this harrowing story of love and survival--from one of the most important voices of her generation--is an unforgettable memorial to the victims of the Parsley Massacre and a testimony to the power of human memory"--Page 4 of cover. 546 $a In English. 600 10 $a Trujillo Molina, Rafael LeoÌnidas, $d 1891-1961 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dominican-Haitian Conflict, 1937 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Haitians $z Dominican Republic $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Dominican Republic $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women household employees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Plantation life $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Massacres $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Refugees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Genocide $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Haiti $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Historical fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204070848.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110052815.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E3F1B3A8202D11E3AACF62D3DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
