Just as Clarisse's husband and daughter know nothing of Ladivine, Clarisse herself has hidden nearly every aspect of her adult life from this woman, whom she dreads and despises but also pities. Long ago abandoned by Clarisse's father, Ladivine works as a housecleaner and has no one but her daughter, whom she knows as Malinka. After more than twenty-five years of this deception, the idyllic middle-class existence Clarisse has built from scratch can no longer survive inside the walls she's put up to protect it. Her untold anguish leaves her cold and guarded, her loved ones forever trapped outside, looking in. When her husband, Richard, finally leaves her, Clarisse finds comfort in the embrace of a volatile local man, Freddy Moliger. With Freddy, she finally feels reconciled to, or at least at ease with, her true self. But this peace comes at a terrible price. Clarisse will be brutally murdered, and it will be left to her now-grown daughter, who also bears the name Ladivine without knowing why, to work out who her mother was and what happened to her.]]></description><link>https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S74C1782275</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S74C1782275</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[NDiaye, Marie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1782275074</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385351881/MC.GIF&amp;client=westp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three Strong Women]]></title><description><![CDATA[In this new novel, the first by a black woman ever to win the coveted Prix Goncourt, Marie NDiaye creates a luminous narrative triptych as harrowing as it is beautiful.  This is the story of three women who say no: Norah, a French-born lawyer who finds herself in Senegal, summoned by her estranged, tyrannical father to save another victim of his paternity; Fanta, who leaves a modest but contented life as a teacher in Dakar to follow her white boyfriend back to France, where his delusional depression and sense of failure poison everything; and Khady, a penniless widow put out by her husband&rsquo;s family with nothing but the name of a distant cousin (the aforementioned Fanta) who lives in France, a place Khady can scarcely conceive of but toward which she must now take desperate flight.  With lyrical intensity, Marie NDiaye masterfully evokes the relentless denial of dignity, to say nothing of happiness, in these lives caught between Africa and Europe. We see with stunning emotional exactitude how ordinary women discover unimagined reserves of strength, even as their humanity is chipped away.  Three Strong Women  admits us to an immigrant experience rarely if ever examined in fiction, but even more into the depths of the suffering heart.]]></description><link>https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S74C2212137</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S74C2212137</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[NDiaye, Marie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2212137074</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780307958532/MC.GIF&amp;client=westp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three Strong Women]]></title><description><![CDATA[This is the story of three women, West African immigrants in France, who say no.

When she travels to Saint-Omer, France, to attend the trial of a young Senegalese woman accused of murdering her infant daughter, novelist Rama finds herself shaken to the core by a case that proves to have profound resonances with her own life. Interweaving complex themes of mother-daughter bonds, immigrant alienation, and postcolonial trauma into a piercing portrait of two mysteriously connected women, Diop forgoes mere questions of guilt and innocence to plumb the unsettling unknowability of the human soul.]]></description><link>https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S74C2290856</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S74C2290856</guid><category><![CDATA[DVD]]></category><category><![CDATA[fre]]></category><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://westvanlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2290856074</comments><format>DVD</format><subtitle/><language>fre</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798886071214/MC.GIF&amp;client=westp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=&amp;upc=715515293815</image_url></item></channel></rss>
