Alfa and Mademba are two Senegalese soldiers fighting in World War One. When Mademba is wounded and dies in the arms of his more-than-brother Alfa, Alfa does all that he can to make amends. Slowly things get darker and harder for Alfa.

This is a beautiful and lyrically written story about a Senegalese solider who gives his all in war. A slow read this book can enrapture you within its writing.
