The 2010 earthquake takes Magdalie's house and her aunt, the only mother she has ever known. Soon afterward, her like-a-sister cousin Nadine leaves. Before the quake, Magdalie was a naive schoolgirl. Now she must negotiate the dangers of the tent camp. A respectful text by an anthropologist who lived in Haiti during the earthquake gives readers a unique perspective on life in modern Haiti. Reading list. Glos.
