Book summary
Hearts need consolation, perhaps they will be comforted by the wound of the relative who owned them. When the pleasure of the liver rebels, and souls lack their complement, expressive words die and memory disappears, searching for no other refuge. The book includes thoughts that tell clips of stories overcome by sadness and pain, dealing with hearts that were shattered and in need of consolation and advice. .... Each thought describes a section of not-so-short stories, in which it tells the conversation of the soul to the soul, and narrates mixed happiness and pain, broken hearts, and inner discourses, which arouse controversy in the soul, and require healing answers for the tormented soul..... The characters speak with the language of the days, complaining. Bitterness befell her, and she taught a life lesson: there is no permanent happiness, no love lasts, and no trust is given to the unknown.
Long hours are the most miserable and exhausting of the souls of many. That distance that intensifies longing and steals sleep from the eyes. It is the distance that everyone abhors and only the hardened of hearts can enjoy.

The writer is from Cameroon, and the event is simple. It takes place in the apartheid society controlled by the whites: The village residents wake up to news from the military ruler stating that the “great leader of the whites” will come from Paris to award old Mika a medal. In appreciation for his efforts and sacrifices, he is the one who lost his two sons who fought with the French army, and donated his land to the new church. Like the residents of his village, Mika feels great as a result of this appreciation, but he soon realizes that he is not strong, but rather a weak, oppressed old man in a weak, oppressed society. A battle in which he is defeated without his opponent appearing in the ring.
The old man and the people of his village are trying to cling to what remains in the memory about themselves, their customs, their methods of expression, their reactions, and their struggle for justice, but they realize on a daily basis: ((The whites have left nothing for us)).
Ferdinand Oyono does not interfere, as if he is sitting among them, doing what they do, so you do not know his direct position on what is going on, and he also drags you to sit with them and participate with them. It does not only aim to introduce you to the problem that people are experiencing, but also to the creative expression methods of these people.
