Meer over het boek

A riveting fiction debut unfolds a love story set in Haiti on the eve of the 2010 earthquake. We meet Zwazo Delalun, known as Zo, a young orphan in a fishing village who embodies the traits of a hero: handsome, strong, independent, honest, and courageous. Determined to forge his own path, Zo also possesses an innate ability to make a woman happy, though he has never experienced love—until he encounters the stunning twenty-one-year-old Anaya while working as a day laborer. Their attraction is instant and intense, but Anaya's powerful father has other plans for her, insisting she marry a well-regarded doctor. Thus, Zo and Anaya's love must remain a secret, cherished in stolen moments. Just as they believe they can carve out a future together, disaster strikes in the form of a devastating earthquake that shatters their world. Separated and fearing the worst for each other, Zo is driven to risk everything to find Anaya amidst the chaos. This impassioned narrative captures the sensory beauty of Haiti while weaving a tale of love, heartbreak, and the quest for redemption.
