Everything Inside (2019)

Eight independent stories follow intimacies shaped by Haitian life and its diaspora, from marriages and parenthood to attachments altered by migration and death. Danticat's restraint keeps affection from becoming a promise that people can protect one another. Unlike the shared ancestry that connects Krik? Krak!, this book gathers different situations through the changing obligations of love. The contrasts between what characters can give and what others need are worth letting accumulate.
