Taste of salt

In the hospital after being beaten by Macoutes, seventeen-year-old Djo tells the story of his impoverished life to a young woman who, like him, has been working with the social reformer Father Aristide to fight the repression in Haiti.

First sentence: It is not quiet, here in this make-do hospital, but it is peaceful.
