Sinossi
The Vortex Family is a richly poetic novel, set in Haiti in 1949, by one of Haiti's leading contemporary writers.
Solon and Olga gather their middle-class family together for Christmas. The Vortex children reflect Haiti's cultural richness: they are cheerful, violent, cynical and generous. Edgard is assistant to Estime, the popular, reform-minded president who embodies the hopes of ordinary Haitians. Joseph is a respected priest; Louis, a university lecturer; and Sylvain, a doctor. Louis's wife Myriam is about to give birth: a new beginning is promised for the family and for Haiti itself.
But the festivities are haunted by the absence of the mysterious Astrid, exiled for political reasons....
The family's destiny becomes allied with that of the country as the brothers are drawn, one by one, into the political drama that leads to a coup d'etat.
