Roxane Gay
From New York Times best-selling powerhouse Roxane Gay, Ayiti is a powerful collection exploring the Haitian diaspora experience. Originally published by a small press, this edition will make Gay’s debut widely available for the first time, including several new stories.
In Ayiti, a married couple seeking boat passage to America prepares to leave their homeland. A young woman procures a voodoo love potion to ensnare a childhood classmate. A mother takes a foreign soldier into her home as a boarder, and into her bed. And a woman conceives a daughter on the bank of a river while fleeing a horrific massacre, a daughter who later moves to America for a new life but is perpetually haunted by the mysterious scent of blood.
These early stories showcase Gay’s prowess as "one of the voices of our age” (National Post, Canada).

I wasn't happy with the narration. I would have liked a better transition between stories, especially since the author/narrorator didn't change voices and the stories were written in first person, welll...mostly.
Not sure if I'd recommend this one. I don't regret listening but there was nothing I wanted to even share with anyone else. If the massacre/scent of blood story or the couple heading to Miami were more in depth, I may...there was something there. This is the reason for the score.
It's ok...
