Is there anything capable of surviving the apocalyptic wreckage of a world? Miller establishes the daily rhythms of Haiti, the stark demands of a life lived amid capricious, grinding poverty, and the marvelous, salty exchanges that occur alongside it all. The language is arresting . . . Miller's writing manages to be both passionate and economical, and when dialogue and physical scenes pop, they
pop off. Zo [bears] witness to tenderness and heroism, the depths of loneliness and peaks of romance – and the courage of an entire nation.
-Kawai Strong Washburn, The New York Times Book Review Beautifully written ... A story of star-crossed romance threatened by class and–eventually–the earthquake that devastated Haiti in 2010. Miller's writing is vivid and engaging, filled with richly imagined scenes and fully formed characters.
-Kirkus A provocative modern rendition of the Romeo and Juliet story ... written in raw and affecting prose. Set against the backdrop of a country ravaged by nature,
Zo takes the reader to the very limits of what a person will do for love.
-Enobong Tommelleo, Booklist A resonant coming-of-age romance set in the outskirts of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Miller does justice to his belief that Haitians have survived by saving themselves, not through outside intervention. The love story of Zo and Anaya tugs the heartstrings.
