Just can’t put this book down “La Balade du Sabador”

Chetetetetete this book is killing me..

First of all let me start by giving a shout out to les 4Vent/one of Dakar’s oldest bookstore chain..there are 2 4 Vent stores in Dkr and lucky enough for me one is in my neighberhood…

I went to see what they had and Oh My God…they had this whole section on African authors…oh the dream..I was so excited…and I  plan on reading most of these books by the end of this year…lucky for me and not so much for my pocket I’m a really fast reader…..so this should not be too difficult…

So I left with 2 books:

1. Aya de Yopoungo – a BD by an author from Ivory Coast, Marguerite

Abouet ..this was the tome/II ..Loved it planning on buying tome /III..what did I say abt my pocket…lol

2.”La Balade du Sabador” by Sokhna Benga is to “die for” I just can’t put this book down..I came to work and kept reading for an hour abt the lives of twin sisters N’goye and Maye…this book talks abt so many different things like the submission that Senegalese women had to endure sometimes to their fates often decided by men, it also touches upon the metaphysical life, the connection btw human life and the “djine” spirit in wolloff…excellent I’m on page 320 and I can’ t wait to read some more till page 620 it’s that good…

Aight back to work..lol

Yaye
