Remembrance is told in voices: Abigail, Gaelle, Margot, and Winter, who are in a disconnected line of Haitian women in America. Abigail was born in Africa, but was captured and brought to Haiti. Margot and Winter were born into bondage, and Gaelle is "free." I say "free" because Gaelle is facing eviction and lonely, her condition caused or exacerbated by inherited trauma and lack of wealth.

The books starts off fast but becomes a slog, unfortunately. Still, give it a try if you like magic realism and complicated endings.
