The Story of the Cannibal Woman A Novel Paperback - 2008

by Maryse Conde


From the publisher

A vibrant, wildly inventive novel from the winner of the New Academy Prize in Literature (the alternative to the Nobel Prize) and critically acclaimed author Maryse Cond, The Story of the Cannibal Woman follows the lives of an intercultural, interracial couple across time and space from New York City, Tokyo, to Capetown.

One dark night in Cape Town, Roslie's husband goes out for a pack of cigarettes and never comes back. Not only is she left with unanswered questions about his violent death but she is also left without any means of support. At the urging of her housekeeper and best friend, the new widow decides to take advantage of the strange gifts she has always possessed and embarks on a career as a clairvoyant. As Roslie builds a new life for herself and seeks the truth about her husband's murder, acclaimed Caribbean author Maryse Cond crafts a deft exploration of post-apartheid South Africa and a smart, gripping thriller.
