Un recueil d'histoires entrelacées qui forment un roman, avec pour thème Haïti et ses corps noirs et l'attirance des chairs."

Fanfan, Charlie, and Legba, aware of the draw of their adolescent, black bodies, seduce rich, middle-aged white tourists looking for respite from their colourless jobs and marriages. These "relationships" mirror the power struggle inherent in all transactions in Port-au-Prince's seedy back streets. Heading South takes us into the world of artists, rappers, Voodoo priests, hotel owners, uptight Parisia."@en
  • "Six attractive American women find themselves in midlife, no longer desired by local men, and seeking new horizons and warmer climates in the Caribbean, but the young Haitian men they find are forced to live a harsh reality in which desire has a price tag and survival is a struggle."
