On the eve of Senegal's independence, Oumar Faye returns to his native village after eight years of absence, accompanied by his white wife. But, under the palaver tree, the gossip is rife. Oumar tries to bring the seeds of a new spirit to the land of his ancestors. First of all, he has to convince his relatives: his father, imam; his mother, who still practices the rites of the ancients; his friends, teachers or doctors – white or black. A subversive and committed novel that paints the portrait of an Africa in full mutation, eager to free itself from the weight of its traditions.
