Il est intéressant de considérer que Laferrière ait éprouvé le besoin de revoir son œuvre (c'est une édition à jour d'une première publication en 1992), mais c'est là le reflet de la nature mouvante de l'histoire, aussi bien personnelle que nationale. Les adolescentes qu'il décrit sont en pleine évolution, comprennent mal leurs besoins et leurs motivations mais n'en sont que plus vivantes, prises dans le chaos de leur pays. Le journal de Marie-Michèle est particulièrement prenant, décrivant les différences entre riches et pauvres; ses propres tourments à cet égard et son incapacité à se mêler totalement à ses amies qui, elles, sont beaucoup plus instinctives. Il y a matière à étudier dans ce livre de prime abord léger. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"It is the early 1970s in Haiti. A shy adolescent boy, raised in a devout family of women, gets mixed up in a misunderstanding at the Macaya Bar in Port-au-Prince's Zone Rouge. Terrified that he has become a target for the Tontons Macoutes - Duvalier's feared and hated secret police - he searches desperately for somewhere to hide. There's really only one place where no one will think to look for him: right across the street at Miki's house, an environment totally at odds with the hushed, careful atmosphere of his own home. Miki and her girlfriends are the most irrepressible, beautiful and daring young women in Port-au-Prince. Now he finds himself spending a fateful few days among them, listening in on their conversations and observing their escapades and affairs. It is a weekend filled with self-discovery, and he returns home a changed person, one for whom life holds no more secrets."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
