“Yanick Lahens adeptly dipped her pen nib in tears to write Moonbath. She brandished her writing instrument with dexterity, creating Cétoute as a metaphor symbolizing both the pain and the promise of Haiti.”
—LANIE TANKARD, The Woven Tale Press
“Lahens is the most important living female Haitian author wrting in French.”
—PROFESSOR CHRISTIANE MAKWARD, Pennsylvania State University review
“[Lahens] describes her country with a forceful beauty—the destruction that befell it, political opportunism, families torn apart, and the spellbinding words of Haitian farmers who solely rely on subterranean powers.” —Donyapress
“One of the finest voices of Haitian contemporary literature.” —L’Ob’s
“Everything is there, the content, powerful, and the style, poetic.” —Les Echos
“Its poetic and political reflections are a prosperity…” —Feuilleton
“Her work occupies a privileged place in the feminine literature in Haiti, by its independence of spirit and its freedom of tone.” —Les Francophonies
“From the writing of Yanick Lahens we find in Moonbath, these spaces of ‘faults.’ Those moments when everything can tilt, where the encounter exists, where it arises chaos, tragedy, and Beauty. A perpetual questioning of the imaginary, the social constructs, their encounters with the Other, on the scale of men and women.” —Africultures Magazine
“Her powerful magical words give this magisterial novel a violent beauty.”
—NOELLA at NOFI News
“...luxurious and mixed language...” —Radio Télévision Luxembourg
“Yanick Lahens offers here a personal and contrasting picture of her country, with a complex and hallucinatory, lyrical and intimate narrative, inhabited by a powerful breath. The magic operates and one lets oneself bewitched.”
—Encres Vagabondes
“The literature of Haiti, already so fertile, is being enriched with this book.”
—l’Humanite Daily News
