Lorsqu'il a vent de l'histoire d'une jeune Africaine promise l'esclavage et qui serait parvenue s'vader, trouvant refuge quelque part aux confins de la terre sngalaise, son voyage et son destin basculent dans la qute obstine de cette femme perdue qui a laiss derrire elle mille pistes et autant de lgendes.[4e de couverture].

Beautiful hearbreaking novel set in Senegal in the 1800's. Story about how even the love of white men kill the black africans. The book had a narrative structure that I found awkward. 3.5 🌟 He is an author I will read again.

After her father has died, Aglae finds hidden notebooks in which he tells her about his travel to Senegal as a young man and the events that transpired there. An interesting read, especially since it takes place in the 1700s, but ultimately I don‘t think it‘ll stick. Low pick for me.

NBA shortlist, translated literature

I am reading David Diop's last novel, La porte du voyage sans retour (the Door of No Return), about 19th century botanist Michel Adanson's travels in Senegal. His previous book, At Night All Blood Is Black, won the 2021 International Booker Prize.
