Everything Inside

 

Everything InsideEverything Inside by Edwidge Danticat
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A short story collection about Haitian immigrants (mostly). Really stories about human life--love, death, families, struggle, but infused with the culture and view-point of Haiti, especially those first -generation and second-generation immigrants. Relatable and compelling read.

Another type of priest, cantor, vicar, or layperson  might have performed a different ritual, but the basic idea would have been the same: the try, with with will and desire alone, to influence something you could not.
