La Saison de l’ombre

La Saison de l’ombre tells the story of the Transatlantic Slave Trade from within the continent: in a Bwa village, twin adolescents are seized by the season of shadows — when warriors come to take the children. A foundational saga on the original wound of Africa.

Prix Femina 2013 and Grand prix du roman métis 2013, the novel has been translated into English, Spanish, and German.
