In Darkness
A powerful literary voice that vividly brings to life the story of a boy and a revolutionary leader and builds a bridge across the centuries of Haitian history. In the aftermath of the Haitian earthquake a boy is trapped beneath the rubble of a ruined hospital: thirsty, terrified and alone. He is linked with Toussaint L'Ouverture, the Haitian rebel who two-hundred years ago led the slave revolt to force the French out of Haiti. Shorty relives the journey that took him to hospital, a bullet wound in his arm.
