Book
Beyond the door of no return : a novel / David Diop ; translated from the French by Sam Taylor.
"Paris, 1806. As renowned botanist Michel Adanson lies on his deathbed, the last word to escape his lips is a woman's name: Maram. The key to this mysterious woman's identity is Adanson's unpublished memoir of the years he spent in Senegal. While on a research expedition in West Africa as a young man, Adanson hears the story of Maram and becomes obsessed with finding her. Accompanied by his guide, he ventures deep into the Senegalese bush on a journey that reveals not only the savagery of the French colonial occupation but also the unlikely transports of the human heart."--Provided by the publisher.
