Description
A gentle novel about the enduring conflict between young and old, new and traditional, foreign and native.
Badian tells the story of a village family in an African country under French rule. The family's father and the eldest son revere the customs of their ancestors, while the younger children are strongly attracted by European ways and ideas. The daughter, Kany, has fallen in love with her very Westernized classmate, Samou; her father, however, has promised her in marriage to Famagan, a merchant who already has two wives.
In the end, it is traditional African wisdom, generous to all perspectives and faithful to both generations, that resolves the family's problems.
First published in French (as Sous l'orage) in 1954.
