Overview
Saisons sauvages is the most fully realized fictional treatment of daily life under the Duvalier dictatorship in Haitian literature. Written by Kettly Mars — one of the most significant contemporary Haitian women novelists — and set in Port-au-Prince during the height of the regime, the novel follows Nirvah Leroy, a bourgeois mulâtre woman whose husband Daniel, a journalist and activist, has been arrested and imprisoned in Fort-Dimanche, Haiti's most feared political prison. To protect Daniel, to obtain information, and ultimately to secure his survival, Nirvah enters into a relationship — at first tactical, then disturbingly intimate — with Raoul Vincent, the Macoute secretary of state who holds her husband's fate in his hands.
