- Summary
- "This is the first time that Nithap, aka Old Father, visits his son in the United States. He agreed to leave Bangwa, in the west of Cameroon, where he has always lived, where he became a nurse, where he went to war, where he fell in love, where his children were born. But the stay is prolonged: Nithap is sick and his son wants to keep him near him. At age forty, he refuses to let his father die. He finally wants to know this secret man with whom he grew up. So the voice of Nithap rises and goes back in time to tell what his son did not live and that nobody talks about or wants to remember, this civil war that tore the country at the time of independence, its soldiers, his martyrs. The son listens to the father, the story of his family and the prayer of this earth that has become bloody. From New York to the Bamileke country, voices mingle, time does not exist anymore, times are confused. Patrick Nganang, in this great novel, digs the memories, tells lives turned upside down by war or exile, and a country where the past is a pain, the present a fight, where everyone seeks his freedom."--
