Publisher's Synopsis
Is state brutality legitimate? What happens when love stands alone against the forces of evil? Love, hope and courage characterise the characters in this story with contemporary resonance. The novel is set in contemporary Africa, where grave injustices are rife. This story, with its tragic overtones, recounts the lives of African immigrants who are lured into exile, but are always condemned to precariousness and misery. The author denounces an unjust society based on deception in the service of ambition. He exposes the terrifying realities of triumphant capitalism, the evils of corruption, state violence, the loss of identity of neo-colonised peoples, the manipulation of the elite, the barbarity of economic predation and, finally, the misfortunes of countries rich in minerals and oil, whose oppressed citizens are condemned to exodus and uprooting.
