Talking about CHEZ ALPHA BOOKS
These Books are Making a Big Impression in Dakar!
Coming soon: The Hundred Wells of Salaga by Ayesha Haruna Attah:
Chez Alpha Books is excited to begin organizing a book launch for Ayesha Harruna Attah's new book THE HUNDRED WELLS OF SALAGA to be released by Cassava Republic and Random House. Ayesha Haruna Attah is the author of two novels: the Commonwealth Prize-shortlisted Harmattan Rain (2009) and the Kwani Manuscript Contest-nominated Saturday’s Shadows (2015). The sensuous prose of Ayesha Harruna Attah immerses you in the rhythms, relationships, desires and struggles in women’s lives in Ghana in the late 19th century during the scramble for Africa.

Millions of Africans were slaughtered. Myriad others were enslaved to work the rubber plantations or forced into concentration camps. In our own world, Leopold established a vast fortune even as he kept the extent of his atrocities from becoming public for decades.
