Despite falling for a French girl, Thérèse, and vowing to leave his womanising's ways behind, he can't resist falling back into old habits when he meets her beautiful best friend. Neither Thérèse's suffering nor her father's disapproval of her African boyfriend can convince him to give up his unfaithful lifestyle. But a tragic event suddenly forces Doumbe to face the consequences of his actions...

Autoren-Porträt von Mbella Sonne Dipoko
Mbella Sonne Dipoko was a novelist, poet, and playwright born in 1936 in Douala, Cameroon. He grew up in the Tiko region, where his father was Chief of Misaka. He was educated at St Paul's Commercial College, Aba, where he first began writing. From 1957, Dipoko worked as a news reporter before relocating to France in 1960 and joining the editorial staff at Présence Africaine. His debut novel A Few Nights and Days (1966) earned him the reputation as a leading writer in France. He later moved to the U.S. to earn his degree in Anglo-American studies before taking up his late father's title of Chief of Misaka and returning to Tiko, Cameroon where he continued to write poetry, short stories, plays and literary criticism in French and English. He died in 2009.
