This powerful novel presents the early days of the transatlantic slave trade from a new perspective: that of the sub-Saharan population that became its first victims.

Cameroonian novelist L onora Miano presents a world on the brink of disappearing--a pre-colonial civilization with roots that stretch back for centuries.

One day, a group of villagers find twelve of their people missing.

Where have they gone? Who is responsible? A collective dream, troubling a group of mothers in a communal dwel.
