About this book

Coco attempts to reconcile herself with a family past that has pursued her all her life. Beginning with Albert Louis, who leaves Guadeloupe to reinvent himself through wealth, she follows children and grandchildren across the Caribbean, Africa, Europe and the United States. Maryse Condé’s multigenerational saga traces ambition, racism, migration and the fractures of Black identity, while the narrator builds through storytelling the monument her complicated dead were never given. Originally written in French as “La vie scélérate”, the work appears here in an Arabic translation by Randah Baʻth.
