Set in the magnificent, dream-laden landscape of West Africa and written in a rich, poetic style, the story of Sabeth's journey to find herself and her lost son is told in a novel to set the senses reeling. Married at the age of 15 by her family to a polygamist, Sabeth is reduced to the status of a slave despite her efforts to find a place in her new family-her only consolation is her first-born, Douo. Following ancient tribal custom, he is snatched from her at the age of five, setting off a long journey to find her child, ending in the birth of a new child and the rebirth of herself.
