This was a beautifully written book, and I loved the interweaving of Madagascar folk lore with the current times, but the plot didn't do it for me.

If the entire story were about the mythology and history of Madagascar, I would have liked it. As it is, the story focuses on a man as he goes through life. Some call this book a coming-of-age story, but that signifies some kind of growth, which doesn't happen with the character here. He thinks he's blessed by the gods, so he goes through life that way. The story jumps around in time, and it's confusing. The writing/translation fell flat for me.
