In 1786, at the heart of the slave trade and the triangular trade between Africa, Europe and the Caribbean, a man and a woman have slowly learned to live again, cut off from the world, hidden in the heart of a protected valley in Africa. They have been able to create a family and hope to be safe. Then a horse comes out of nowhere and the children follow it, wanting to know more about the place it came from… And that is the end of the Garden of Eden. This story tackles a major topic in an unforgettable, ambitious, sincere, sensitive and nuanced book. A must read!
