Soucouyant by David Chariandy
A young Caribbean-Canadian woman contends with family history and neighborhood rumor when an elder in her community is accused of being a soucouyant, a figure from Caribbean folklore; blending myth and memory, the novel traces how stories, desire and suspicion reveal deeper wounds of displacement, racialized violence and gendered fear as the narrator probes her relationships and the fragile bonds that hold a diasporic community together.
