Brother, I’m Dying is a beautifully written book with simplistic language that draws the reader into this Haitian family’s life.
Author Edwidge Dandicat (silent t) introduced me to her family and made me feel at home. I felt connected to a world that is vastly different from mine through her well-chosen words. It was educational and entertaining.
However, the sad ending foreshadowed by the morose title, was the only downfall. But the author was just recounting her life and we all know what happens when you call a book a memoir and then it’s full of lies. If you’re looking for a book that gives you a glimpse into the lives of foreigners living in America, read this book by a captivating Haitian author.
