Marine Lt. Robert McAllister is able to keep some intellectual distance from the brutality and waste of this war against the people of Haiti until his fiancée Caroline Barbour is kidnapped by the insurgents. Caroline is no wilting lily, she is the daughter of a Marine and she rides and shoots as needed to protect herself from harm. However, neither she nor McAllister are able to protect themselves from the pity and sympathy evoked by the colorful, warm, and savage people of Haiti.
Although "Rendezvous in Haiti" is not as strong as his other books, Mr. Becker, once again, brings us lively, supremely self-aware human characters. As always his portrayal of McAllister as a man who loves women with his eyes open is outstanding.
I received a review copy of "A Rendezvous in Haiti" by Stephen Becker (Open Road) through NetGalley.com. It was first published in 1980 by W. W. Norton.
