Description
From Guadeloupe in the 1950s to her early student years in Paris, Maryse Condé reveals herself here in fragments. The youngest child in a large family of the black bourgeoisie of Pointe-a-Pitre, Maryse grows up in a world full of contradictions. Through the initiatory trials of love, death, friendship, racism, and nostalgia, we see her gradually leave childhood behind. And on the path to adulthood, she discovers her calling as a writer. Bittersweet memories from an author engaged with her time, internationally recognized.
