Memories In Technicolor

A coming of age story in Haiti, France, and the United States. Memories in Technicolor is a narrative about growing up--one built with precision, that plunges the reader in the heart of the 60s, as the main character learns to come to terms with a world that can be both loving and cruel. During the Papa Doc regime in Haiti, Myriam leaves Port-au-Prince to attend a boarding school in France and embrace adolescence and its many surprises; she is forced to examine her beliefs, as well as her relationships and her view of herself. Later. when the young Caribbean woman travels the United States to pursue a university degree in the midst of the hippie counter culture and the controversial Vietnam War era, small moments of self-revelation allow Myriam to reinvent herself. She keeps a journal where she describes her journey across continents, and the emotional and spiritual growth that comes with dislocation. She captures every day moments in the most beautiful, compelling ways. Each entry bubbles, until they all burst ten years later, putting an end to her story: Myriam's life has come full circle.
