\"Interview<\/p>\n

This month, the SocaMom Caribbean Book Club is reading Elsie Augustave’s The Roving Tree, and will be participating in a live discussion with the author on May 8th at 9:00 PM EST.<\/p>\n

Elsie Augustave’s debut novel explores multiple themes: separation and loss, rootlessness, the impact of class privilege and color consciousness, and the search for cultural identity. The central character, Iris Odys, is the offspring of Hagathe, a Haitian maid, and a French-educated mulatto father, Brahami, who cares little about his child. Hagathe, who had always dreamed of a better life for her child, is presented with the perfect opportunity when Iris is five years old. Adopted by a white American couple, Iris is transported from her tiny remote Haitian village, Monn Neg, to an American suburb.<\/em><\/p>\n
