Marie Noël does not know who her father is, nor does she know why her mother abandoned her immediately after her birth and left her in the care of Ranleys, nor does she know what prompted this mother to send a letter ten years later demanding her daughter.
The girl travels into the unknown, living with an emotionally cold mother, tormented by memories of the past. After she grows up, she goes to Boston to complete her studies, and marries an innovative jazz musician, while the question, “Who am I? And who is my family?” continues to haunt her in all the places she lives, and so she seeks to understand what happened before she was born, but a series of dark secrets... And the elusive facts are faced.
In this novel, which won the Prix Carbet de la Caraibe, Maryse Conde writes a tale of lost love and unwanted motherhood, capturing the voice of the Caribbean diaspora with grace and sweetness.

Product Details :
These Orwell essays are written with a direct and frank practical breath. They are not purely intellectual or academic articles. Quite the contrary, Orwell wants the reader to engage in intellectual, and therefore political, battles - as he does not distinguish between the two matters. On the other hand, the articles are very entertaining, smart, and mean. Journalistic writing, for Orwell, is a special literary project. Orwell makes the art of the essay a renewed field for discovering the meaning of writing, and his articles are taught in English universities and institutes as a model of serious, literary, profound, and artistic writing.
The events of this novel began at the end of the nineteenth century, specifically in the year 1882 AD, and continued until the present time. The novel contains reality and fantasy, even if reality dominates it more. I have selected a story from each verse, and put them all in this novel so that it is all the stories. And let the groans of the world gather in the heart of this family, for this is how fate intended, and this is how the days and years passed with a succession of events. The novel would not have occurred to me if it had not been for the fact that it had been inspired by a woman... a woman who is not like other women in my view... Yes, a woman to whom I owe great credit for taking my hand in writing this novel. She is a woman from the beautiful past, from the era of the Hollows and the Yamal. She is a woman who struggled to survive. To live, to continue her life’s journey with full strength... a woman who cannot be repeated in this time. She is my inspiration, and for her sake I decided to begin and continue the narration of this novel until the end.
