An academic specializing in international politics and subjects linked to the question of gender, the Ghanaian Peace Adzo Medie signs with his only wife a lucid and ironic first novel on patriarchy. A sentimental and social story, this fascinating page-turner, rich in intrigue and frustration, flirts with the conventions of romantic novels to tell the experience of contemporary African women struggling with the anti-feminist prejudices of their societies.
