Recenzii
Winner of the Prix Femina, 2014

“[Lahens] describes her country with a forceful beauty — the destruction that befell it, political opportunism, families torn apart, and the spellbinding words of Haitian farmers who solely rely on subterranean powers.” — Donyapress
“In the Haitian tradition of the rural novel […] Yanick Lahens’ Moonbath establishes itself by its grand and lucid beauty.” — Le Point
“Lahens’s ambitious fresco of twentieth-century Haiti through the eyes of peasants depicts the first generation with Romain-like incision.” — Robert H. McCormick Jr, World Literature Today
"Lahens is the most important living female Haitian author in French." — Christiane Makward
“A novel of violent beauty.” — Le Monde
"One of the finest voices of Haitian contemporary literature." — L’Ob’s
"Everything is there, the content, powerful, and the style, poetic." — Les Echos
