Focusing on the life of Béhanzin, an African king who resisted French colonial rule and faced exile in Martinique, the narrative explores the journeys of his descendants across the Caribbean and the United States. Through a rich tapestry of interconnected stories, the novel delves into themes of exile, lost heritage, memory, and resilience. While primarily set in the Americas, the lingering presence of Africa adds depth to the family's quest for identity and belonging amidst their scattered lives.
