Ben Fountain paints a vivid description of mid-coup Haiti in this engrossing story of love, political intrigue, and futile searches for long lost riches. The reefs are beautiful, the hospitals gruesome, the extremes a reminder that in times of political instability, circumstances can change drastically, and do, as the characters struggle for power — or learn to live without it.
