Summary: A moving story of love and community....
Review: This is a beautiful story centering around the return of Manuel, a "prodigal son," to his once-thriving home community--a community that is now in the midst of drought and hard times for all. As a result, the community has lost its sense of togetherness and a long-standing family feud mars any chance for reconciliation and a return of the coumbite.Upon Manuel's return to Haiti from Cuba, he begins a quest for water which he hopes will ultimately bring about an end to the hard times and feuding. In doing so, he also intends to reunite the community. Along the way, he falls in love and also makes an enemy. I'd hate to give anything more away so you'll have to read the rest yourself.... This book is so well written, the language so beautiful, that you can see (and smell) the sights, people, animals, and terrain of the village community. It is a literary picture show/journey not to be missed.
