- Summary:
- "The Immortals are the prostitutes of Port-au-Prince, Haiti. After one of them learns that her client is a writer, she makes a deal with him: sex in exchange for writing the stories of the women who were buried beneath the rubble in the earthquake of January 12, 2010. She wants him to write about one in particular-a young runaway named Shakira. A voracious reader, Shakira fled her dogmatic evangelical mother's home, becoming one of the most coveted prostitutes of Grand Rue-that is, until the brothels collapsed"-- Provided by publisher.
