Set in the magnificent, dream-laden landscape of West Africa and written in a rich, poetic style, the story of Sabeth's journey to find herself and her lost son is told in a novel to set the senses reeling. Married at the age of 15 by her family to a polygamist, Sabeth is reduced to the status of a slave despite her efforts to find a place in her new family—her only consolation is her first-born, Douo. Following ancient tribal custom, he is snatched from her at the age of five, setting off a long journey to find her child, ending in the birth of a new child and the rebirth of herself.

I very much enjoyed this book. It mixes diary entries with letters in a hybrid epistolary novel, but does it very well. I complained because Jo Walton's Among Other was in a diary format but didn't use it as well as I would have liked. This is how to do it well. There is a narrative here, related by Clara to her sister, Nora, her friend, Evelyn, or, much of it, to herself alone. And it is compelling.
