Also, in the first 30 hits of a gsearch under "Claire of the Sea Light edwidge reviews", in addition to the reviews listed above by {{u|Arxiloxos}}, there are also reviews from ''The Southeast Review'' - "Danticat successfully challenges the idea of a monolithic story and shows that a person’s biography exists within the context of a community ... Danticat also brings to question the singularity of history by privileging multiple voices."http://southeastreview.org/review-claire-of-the-sea-light/, ''World Literature Today'' - "Claire of the Sea Light is not Danticat’s best work. Too many of the novel’s pages roil in her characters’ disconsolate ruminations. Still, the fiction holds because its chief suspense—concern for the runaway child and curiosity about what she will do—holds. Also, it ends brilliantly."http://www.worldliteraturetoday.org/2014/march/claire-sea-light-edwidge-danticat, ''The Washington Times'' - "That Ms. Danticat can evoke possibility so powerfully in this attractive child testifies to her literary gifts: her lucid prose, her wide-ranging references, her sharpness of focus."http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/sep/5/book-review-claire-of-the-sea-light/, ''Harvard Review Online'' - "Resisting sentimentality or oversimplification, Danticat creates a series of stories that weave seamlessly into each other, each story answering questions conjured by those that precede it."http://harvardreview.fas.harvard.edu/?q=features/book-review/claire-sea-light, ''The Dallas Morning News'' - "Claire is set in May 2009 and imagines Haiti nine months before the life-grinding 2010 earthquake. Made from that wreckage, Danticat’s Claire is a bleak and beautiful “collage à clef.”"http://www.dallasnews.com/lifestyles/books/20131102-book-review-claire-of-the-sea-light-by-edwidge-danticat.ece, ''Palimpsest: A Journal on Women, Gender, and the Black International'' - "Danticat paints the portrait of a town in peril, which can be read as a microcosm for life in Haiti"http://muse.jhu.edu/login?auth=0&type=summary&url=/journals/palimpsest/v003/3.2.germain.html
