To find out what has become of him his wife Nirvah visits Raoul Vincent secretary of state at the Office of Public Safety. This fearsome head of the secret police is instantly smitten and to ensure her husband’s survival and protect her family Nirvah submits to the official’s desires. Becoming the mistress of a strongman in the regime is not without its benefits. Still she has to endure her neighbors’ inquisitive looks and the silent questions of her own children.Kettly Mars’s Savage Seasons describes a pivotal and painful period in Haitian history by weaving together two stories: the personal story of Nirvah and her family and the universal story of Duvalier’s dictatorial regime and its abuses.
