-waiting for Daniel and clinging to hope of seeing them was like anchoring a kite with cement

Raoul gives Nirvah jewelry and she looks at it thinking they call her, beckon her, look for her neck, earlobes & wrist like the tentacles of a formidable (redoutable) beast.

Raoul thinks about Duvalier: all gratitude is weakness. The Duvalier principle is to bite the hand that feeds you, even the whole arm if necessary. If someone offers you help it’s because they feel sorry for you.

Raoul is convinced the spasms he had after touching N were the result of vodou lwas protecting her. He notes he’s over due to pay homage to a spirit himself.

Narration alternated between Nirvah & Raoul. He finishes chp 10 & foreshadows the cruelty and lies he will put her through.

Nirvah has light skin but grew up without the wealth associated w it. She’s a hybrid: bourgeois sometimes, peuple others. Like Violaine.

Déméplè is a lwa who uses a rattle (un asson). Nirvah knows it as an adj for having shady character but he is the neighbor’s lwa

Neighbor is a manbo and prostitute who sleeps w macoutes. Nirvah contacted bishop for help w husband but the church is as powerless against Duvalier as anyone else. I wonder how Mars will develop vodou in the novel.

Raoul makes it clear he wants Nirvah because she is privileged and represents everything he couldn’t have. Possessing her means possessing those privileges. Typical male entitlement wrapped up in Haiti’s racial bullshit.
