Baco had published with the same publisher, from La République des imberbes to Brûlante est ma terre.
Who it is for
For reading one of the first French-language Comorian novels, at the time when this literature was being born.
Prizes and reception
Soeuf Elbadawi counts it among the books made possible by the breach opened at L'Harmattan by Toihiri in 1986.
