Description

Novel by Maryse Condé published in 2005. The work explores the story of a Caribbean woman whose inner violence and identity conflicts are compared to a symbolic “cannibalism.” Condé develops her darkest and most provocative style here, questioning the power dynamics between genders and Caribbean communities. The novel is a reflection on violence done to women, both external (colonial racism) and internalized.
