Little Tapoussière grows up in the care of her grandmother, who raises her among ancestral legends and considers her the center of her hopes. When she emigrates to Paris, the cultural shock awakens in her a nostalgia for what she left behind. Through memories and stories, the novel explores identity, uprootedness and the connection between generations and cultures.

For readers of contemporary fiction interested in African literature, the migrant experience and bonds between grandmothers and granddaughters.
