Description

Novel by Maryse Condé published in 2017. The work follows the crossed destinies of two characters — Ivan, a young street youth from Haiti, and Ivana, a Guadeloupean woman — in a narrative that crosses Caribbean borders and questions inequalities, social violence, and the illusions of mobility. Condé develops her characteristic style here: direct narrative, biting irony, and compassion for the marginalized.
