These Melancholy Souls

These Melancholy Souls follows Snow, a idle dandy born in the Hexagone within the Intra-Muros, consumed by resentment toward his mother and his brother Maxime, an undocumented “five-star” individual determined to pass on his knowledge to the Mboasu.

An intimate novel about childhood wounds, guilt, and redemption between two continents. The author depicts “blood is not water” as a living formula for the fates of wounded family destinies.
