Winner of the Noma Award for publishing in Africa, this novel paints a portrait of a woman who, with courage and dignity, refuses to accept a polygamous life. Though her husband's action is sanctioned by Islam, to her it is a brutal denial of their years together.

Review
“This is a beautiful new edition of a timeless classic of African literature. Ba brings the issue of polygamy into sharp, almost familiar focus for readers who might think it bizarre and safely foreign. I am pleased to see this treasure back in print.” Catherine E. Bolten, University of Notre Dame
“I used this novel in my African literature course and it was great. The students researched Senegal and the discussions were lively, enthusiastic, and compelled the quiet students to join in. It was a rewarding experience.” Immaculate Kizza, University of Tennessee
