Temas : AMERICAN  LITERATURE,  HISTORICAL  NOVEL Resumen : The story centers on Amabelle, an orphan who has been raised by the Dominican family of Señora Valencia. As she navigates her life as a servant and midwife, Amabelle experiences love and tragedy, particularly through her relationship with Sebastien, a Haitian cane worker. Set during the politically charged atmosphere of General Trujillo's regime, the narrative sheds light on the brutal massacre of Haitians in the Dominican Republic, revealing the pervasive discrimination and violence faced by those of Haitian descent. With its rich character development and haunting imagery, the novel delves into themes of belonging, memory, and the struggle to tell one's story in the aftermath of catastrophe.
