Description
In the vibrant, tumultuous landscape of 1970s Pointe Noire, Republic of the Congo, young Michel navigates the complexities of childhood amidst political upheaval and personal drama. Inspired by the discarded books of foreign guests and the dreams of distant lands, Michel grapples with first love, playground rivalries, and the unsettling pronouncements of a local witch doctor. This poignant and often humorous coming-of-age story, infused with the author's distinctive voice, explores themes of identity, ambition, and the search for belonging.
