Dominican Readers Book Club Meet-up

César Sánchez Beras’ East of Haiti is a powerful collection of novellas exploring the intertwined lives of Haitians and Dominicans on Hispaniola. Through the stories of Old Jean Morisseau awaiting his long-lost son, Albertico Durosier navigating his dual identity, and Don Victoriano’s troubling power over the poor, Sánchez Beras delves into themes of race, poverty, migration, and resilience. Set in rural communities far from tourist beaches, this evocative work offers a raw and moving glimpse into the struggles and strength of ordinary people seeking a better life. Perfect for a discussion on identity, adversity, and hope!
