Description
"Faydé lives in the mountains in the far north of Cameroon. In order to keep her mother, brothers and sister out of trouble, her stepfather having disappeared during a Boko Haram raid, the young teenager decides to leave for Maroua, the nearest town, where she will be a maid. Like her peers, she will have to adjust to her new life, which is urban and difficult for girls. Class contempt, mistreatment, rape... How will Faydé manage to make her way in an environment where her destiny seems to have been decided in advance?
Djaïli Amadou Amal signs, with Heart of the Sahel, a new novel on the condition of women in the Sahel through the life not of the "Impatients" but of their servants, marking even more his commitment against the injustices done to women."
