Moonbath (Bain de lune in the original French) tells the story of Cétoute, found dead on the beach after a hurricane, and of her family over the course of the 20th century in Anse Bleue, a fictional village in Haiti. Stylistically stunning.

Moonbath (the English title) brings us to Anse Bleue in Haïti. We discover the Lafleur and the Mésidor: two families with tight links, but whose fate and life are very different. This book is not one of my favorite, but the poetic writing and the discovery of this isolated Haitian community make this book worth reading.

Trying to play catch up with our photo challenge! I loved, loved, loved reading Speak Gigantular last year that I had to purchase Moonbath! The same person that recommended Speak, also recommended the latter so I trust it will blow my mind. ♥️

I promise this is the last post today.

I cannot praise #callnumber #bookmail enough. There's a book only option and you can choose to have fiction or non-fiction selections. I've tried several services. This and #BOTM are my only choices now.

Can't wait to read this one.

hermyknee I just looked up the subscription! I think I‘m going to try it after the new year! (You know...when I have money again...hopefully) 7y
BekahPat Never heard of this one. Gonna check it out. Thank you for feeding my book addiction :) 7y
nelehelen Exactly what @BekahPat said 😂😊😉 7y

Sace @hermyknee I really like the book only option since I don't get those "extras" that just collect dust (and feel a little like a waste of money.) 7y
Sace @BekahPat @nelehelen happy to enable you both 😊 7y
kamoorephoto Oooh, not heard of this one!! 7y
Sace @kamoorephoto I've been really impressed with both the fiction and non fiction selections. 7y
TricksyTails Never heard of it! I'm so interested. I've been looking for another box to try. Thanks! 7y
