Description: Now in paperback a brutal and dreamlike story about the first victims of the transatlantic slave trade. This powerful novel presents the early days of the transatlantic slave trade from a new perspective: that of the sub - Saharan population that became its first victims. Cameroonian novelist L onora Miano presents a world on the brink of disappearing a pre - colonial civilization with roots that stretch back for centuries. One day a group of villagers finds twelve of their people missing. Where have they gone? Who is responsible? A collective dream troubling a group of mothers in a communal dwelling may have some of the answers as the women's missing sons call to them in terror; at the same time a thick shadow settles over the huts blocking out the light of day. It is the shadow of slavery which will soon grow to blight the whole world. Miano renders this brutal story in deliberately strange dreamlike prose befitting a situation that is on its face all but impossible for the villagers to believe.
