Twilight of Torment
Twilight of Torment weaves together four stories — Melancholy, Héritage, and the voices of a family torn apart between Africa and France — to speak of the torments of the heirs of colonization. The work first appeared in two volumes: I. Melancholy (2016), II. Héritage (2017).
Translated into English (Twilight of Torment, Seagull Books, 2022), the cycle confirms Miano as the novelist of wounded memories and rebirths.
