«Gli onori perduti» is the novel by Calixthe Beyala, published by Epoché in paperback (366 pages, in Italian).
Saïda is born in the Cameroonian village of Cuscusville and, being a woman and an only child, no one courts her. Faced with Africa's contradictions, she emigrates to Paris to make her only possession, her virginity, count, and clashes with a city that mocks her illusions. The novel is a portrait of immigration, loss of innocence and cultural clash.
This Italian edition belongs to the Togu-na series, was published in 2003 and features a translation by G. Amaducci and M. Martignoni.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in immigration, identity and the clash between tradition and modernity.
