Industry Reviews
"Magic...illuminates the beauty of family life of Haiti in a way no news report has done."
Boston Globe - Jordana Hart
"A writer of moving and lucid prose. She captures the ineradicable damage done by the state-sanctioned terrorists like the Tontons Macoute, and just as incisively she exposes the hidden harm of generations of traditional mores in which women themselves can be instruments of women's oppression."
Newsday (Long Island, N.Y.) - John Benkman
"In this collection of spare, luminous stories that read like poems, [she] has taken the travails of the Haitian people and the resiliency of spirit and given them universal meaning and appeal."
Paule Marshall
"Danticat is a writer of considerable talent, and her prose sparkles. Her honesty, coupled with her wit and subtlety, yields powerful stories that remain with us long after we close the book."
Benkman
