«Historia de la mujer caníbal» is the contemporary novel by Maryse Condé, published in 2024 by Impedimenta in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
In Cape Town, Rosélie faces the murder of her husband and the loneliness of feeling like a stranger in post-apartheid South Africa. Of Guadeloupean origin and raised in France, she has carried the stigma of her skin across four continents. Doubts about Stephen's death spark gossip, while she, a painter and medium, stops painting and sleeping.
Translation from French by Martha Asunción Alonso; original: Histoire de la femme cannibale (2003). No. 277 of the Impedimenta collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction aged 14 and up, with an interest in narratives about identity and diaspora.
