Both tender and cruel relationships unfold, which highlight the colonial conflicts that gave birth to Haiti.
The book discussion is free and open to the public. No registration is necessary; just read the book and join us for an informal discussion. If you need a copy of the book, please inquire at the Information Desk. If you would like more information, please contact Barbara Clark-Greene at 860-441-6750.
