Pour bon nombre de personnes, la place de la femme dans la vie sociale reste dans un contexte familial renferme; assujettie a la besogne de la maisonnee, son impact sur la vie familiale et sociale reste meprise Refutant cette image de la femme qu'a constituee le commun des mor-tels, l'auteur de ce chef d'oeuvre produit une narration captivante, mettant au centre de l'histoire Saratou, une femme au destin tergiverse et musele qui, en depit de ce qui est, se reserve une dignite a caractere exo-tique. De jeune fille, elle devient jeune orpheline, puis jeune epouse, pour plus tard passer par le statut de veuve, mere d'enfants. Sans doute suivie par un malheur a sens esoterique, elle verra comme dans un cau-chemar, ses enfants s'eteindre, lui laissant des petits-fils qu'elle aimera tels ses propres enfants. Plonges dans une societe tchadienne rurale ou inondation, tempete, famine, problemes sanitaires et analphabetisme font ravage de tout vent, Saratou et ses petits-fils s'adonnent a de travaux acariatres afin d'assumer et assurer leur destin.

For many people, the place of women in social life remains in a closed family context; subjected to the work of the household, their impact on family and social life remains despised. Refuting this image of women that has been created by ordinary mortals, the author of this masterpiece produces a captivating narrative, placing Saratou at the center of the story, a woman with a procrastinated and muzzled destiny who, despite what is, reserves for herself a dignity of an exotic nature. From a young girl, she becomes a young orphan, then a young wife, to later pass through the status of widow, mother of children. Undoubtedly followed by a misfortune with an esoteric meaning, she will see as in a nightmare, her children die, leaving her grandchildren that she will love like her own children. Immersed in a rural Chadian society where floods, storms, famine, health problems and illiteracy wreak havoc in every way, Saratou and her grandsons engage in cantankerous work in order to assume and ensure their destiny. This work, in addition to being a concrete illustration of the bravery and heroic image of African women in a society, denounces several social ills such as fratricide, foreign interference, tribalism, etc.
