"A Knife in the Sky is Haitian-Québécoise writer Marie-Célie Agnant's most recent novel. Like most of the author's oeuvre, the book is preoccupied with colonial imposition and its weight specifically on women. In A Knife in the Sky, Agnant locates the power of resistance in women and in the pen: the novel's first narratrix, Mika, is a journalist dangerously engaged in the pursuit of truth during the repressive Duvalier regime, supported by a cast largely made up of other strong women; the second is her granddaughter, a student from Grenada named Junon. Based on the lived history of those who survived the Duvalierists, A Knife in the Sky is brutal, terrifying, and hopeful."-- Provided by publisher
