Haitian novelist Edwidge Danticat has a new book out this month: “Claire of the Sea Light”

The story is set in the fictitious Haitian seaside town of Ville Rose, where the title character, Claire of the Sea Light, is a little girl pulled between the tides, you might say; the love of her father and his intense desire to give her away to a wealthy woman in town who might give her a better life.

Danticat stopped by a studio in Miami, where she lives, to speak with anchor Marco Werman about her newest book.
