  Winner of the prestigious Prix Carbet, Memory at Bay is now available in an English translation that brings to life this powerful novel by one of Haiti's most vital authors, Evelyne Trouillot. Trouillot introduces us to a bedridden widow of a notorious dictator (in effect, a portrait of Papa Doc Duvalier) and the young emigre who attends to her needs but who harbors a secret.
