Mendo choup ke joug Evarist Dieu ne dort, a married young man called “Johnny Walker”, makes up a masterplan past any comparison to get to Europe with his family: a white woman, “Ms Visa”, must be found! He needs to convince that woman to marry him, so he can leave the country. His real wife poses as his sister, his children as his nieces and nephews. As he arrives in Europe with his white wife, he wants to get his “sister” and the children there as well. The first part of his plan succeeds: he gets to Europe. But how will he get his “sister” there? Cunning Johnny makes up the second part of his plan. His white wife has a brother, so Johnny sings praises of his “sister” to him until the man leaves for Cameroon, falls in love with her, marries her and gets her to Europe with him. Afterwards, all four of them live together in their family home - a ménage à quatre. The two white siblings suspect nothing, until the third part of Johnny’s plan takes form … Volume 2: the captivating fight for love - love words or proofs of love? What happened to Carla? Johnny’s first white affair disappeared, Mauritz, Anna and the others have left Kribi and Johnny is alone again. But as a positively thinking master of the art of living, Johnny still believes in his dream to find a white wife. It is as if destiny has heard his prayers: a new group of tourists arrives in Kribi, and the fascinating Liege from Belgium is a part of it. Johnny sees her as another chance, but it turns out that Liege is married. However, Johnny’s friend Roger - a self-proclaimed connoisseur of white women - claims that that is exactly why she is the right one for him, and Johnny begins a promising affair with her. But suddenly Carla and Anna are back in his life again … the drama unfolds and takes its course; what weighs heavier: the Europeans’ words of love or the Africans’ proofs of love? This trilogy succeeds like no other in pulling the reader deep into a magical world full of adventure - into a foreign, nearly mystical culture, with its ease of life and its many helpful wisdoms. A world in which the clocks work in a different direction, but everyone still moves forward. Afro-European relationships and their clichés are shown in a realistic and entertaining way.
