What is Hadriana in All My Dreams : a Novel about?

"One-of-a-kind...[A] ribald, free-wheeling magical-realist novel, first published in 1988 and newly, engagingly translated by Glover...An icon of Haitian literature serves up a hotblooded, rib-ticking, warmhearted melange of ghost story, cultural inquiry, folk art, and *veritable l'amour*."--***Kirkus Reviews*, Starred review** "You've never read about a zombie like Hadriana. Transformed into the walking dead on her wedding day, Hadriana becomes part of popular legend, one imbued with magic, eroticism, and even humor." --**Tor.com** "You do not need to believe in zombies or Vodou to be carried away by this story--a metaphor for all forms of dispossession. . . . Rene Depestre has gone beyond nostalgia to write a sumptuous love story." --* **Le Monde** * With a foreword by Edwidge Danticat. Translated from the French by Kaiama L. Glover. *Hadriana in All My Dreams*, winner of the prestigious Prix Renaudot, takes place primarily during Carnival in 1938 in the Haitian village of Jacmel. A beautiful young French woman, Hadriana, is about to marry a Haitian boy from a prominent family. But on the morning of the wedding, Hadriana drinks a mysterious potion and collapses at the altar.
