I devoured in a few days this novel that tells a story but hard at the same time fascinating: that of a young woman who lives a life of service to others in an African region already crossed by conflicts related to decolonization and conflicts ethnic. Beautiful decorations, beautiful stories: when you get into reading, you do not stop! The description of the characters and landscapes are very well done. Scenery and explore distant lands guaranteed. A must read, and in the process, "The lady in blue sari" also K. Scholes.
