This novel. Wow. So many textures and sounds. That is what comes to mind.
A young girl from Haiti comes to America, specifically Detroit, and she must fight to survive and save the people she loves. Picking up this novel, I never fathom it would go in the direction that it went. American Street starts with tragedy and ends with tragedy, but there is so much in between. I definitely recommend.
Time As A Bully
This novel is more reminiscent of short stories that are interconnected. Some of the stories are interesting and fast moving, others seem like fillers. What I am still mulling over is how does the title connect to the stories. Is time the goon? The one consistent theme is that time has not been good to any of the characters.
