As young girls, they build their unlikely friendship--until a deathbed revelation ripples through their families and tears them apart. After François Duvalier's rule turns deadly in the 1950s, Sisi moves to Paris, while Gertie marries into a wealthy Dominican family. Across decades and continents, through personal success and failures, they are parted and reunited, slowly learning the truth of their singular relationship. Finally, six decades later, with both women in the United States, a sudden phone call brings them back together once more to reckon with and--perhaps--forgive the past. \u003cp\u003eTold with power and frankness, \u003cem\u003eVillage Weavers\u003c\/em\u003e confronts the silences around class, race, and nationality, charts the moments when lives are irrevocably forced apart, and envisions two girls--connected their entire lives--who try to break inherited cycles of mistrust and find ways back into each other's hearts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tin House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781959030379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.80w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/19\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2024 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2024\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Myriam J. a.
