Summary: Story of a bar girl, Hawa, who has spent her life circulating between urban centers and rural homelands in Ghana, Togo, and Burkina Faso. She roams this fractured post-colonial landscape, seamlessly connecting the world of the village (where familial relationships never die and witchcraft captures the imagination) to that of the city (where evading police and government officials and constantly struggling to live off the uncertain spoils of the nightlife are everyday occurances) to the baroque, surreal, and often obscene world of the European expatriate. Charles Piot [back cover].
