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. The Hundred Wells of Salaga also offers a remarkable view of slavery within Africa, centering around two strong and memorable female characters whose lives intersect in a surprising way.

In Tomi Adeyemi’s Afrofuturist fantasy epic, a black teenage girl is key to bringing magic back to the world. Children of Blood and Bone, a debut YA novel from Nigerian-American writer Tomi Adeyemi, is widely expected to be the next great YA franchise. It’s the first in a planned trilogy, and reportedly earned one of the biggest advances in YA history. A movie deal is already in place. Expectations, in other words, are high. Perhaps the best way to describe children is as an Afrofuturist fantasy epic: think Octavia Butler meets The Hunger Games, with a hefty dose of Avatar: The Last Airbender thrown in. It takes place in the fantasy land of Orïsha, a treat of a fantasy world, fully-formed and entirely thought-out, with a thematically rich mythology. Continue reading:

Wonderful New Read
We planted a tree and it grew up,
While it reached for the sky and the sun. . . .
In this simple poem illustrated by award winner Bob Staake, two young families in two very different parts of the world plant a tree. As the trees flourish, so do the families . . . while trees all over the world help clean the air, enrich the soil, and give fruit and shade.
