Village Weavers by Myriam J.A. Chancy
In "Village Weavers," two girls, Gertie and Sisi, form a deep friendship in 1940s Port-au-Prince despite their differing social backgrounds. Their bond is tested by a family secret that separates them. As political turmoil unfolds in Haiti, Sisi relocates to Paris, while Gertie marries into a wealthy Dominican family. Over the years, they experience personal highs and lows, eventually reuniting in the United States decades later. The story explores themes of class, race, and nationality, as the women confront their past and seek reconciliation.
