The narrative centers on Dieudonné Sabrina, a young black gardener accused of murdering his wealthy white employer and lover, Loraine. As he seeks refuge on his sailboat, La Belle Créole, the story unfolds through flashbacks during a tumultuous night in Port-Mahault, Guadeloupe. Set against a backdrop of social unrest and labor strikes, the novel explores themes of identity, race, and the uncertain futures of both Dieudonné and the island itself. Condé's work weaves a complex tale of desperation and societal decay.
