Contours du jour qui vient

Contours du jour qui vient follows the journey of Mo, a street-smart teenager from the streets of Yaoundé, to France. A coming-of-age story about resourcefulness, exile, and the broken promises of both continents.

Winner of the prix Goncourt des lycéens 2006, the novel was honored with six consecutive awards and has established itself as a reference in Francophone African literary discourse.
