Two girls: Eve, whose body is her only weapon and source of power; Savita, Eve's best friend and the only one who loves her selflessly, planning to leave, but not without Eve. Two boys: Saadiq, gifted would-be poet, deeply in love with Eve; Clelio, the neighbourhood tough, waiting without hope for his brother to send for him from France. All are desperate to escape the cycle of fear and violence in which they are trapped.
Born in Mauritius, Ananda Devi is a novelist, short-story writer and poet. Translated into a dozen languages, she is considered a powerful voice in modern African writing in French and has won several prestigious literary awards. She lived for many years in London, where she obtained a PhD in social anthropology; and in Congo-Brazzaville. She currently lives in Ferney-Voltaire, in France.
