    Formats & Editions

    'NDiaye will win the Nobel Prize' New Yorker

    A Booker International Prize Shortlistee and Winner of the Prix Goncourt.

    The story of three women who say no: Norah, a French-born lawyer who finds herself in Senegal, summoned by her estranged father to save another victim of his paternity; Fanta, who leaves a contented life as a teacher in Dakar to follow her boyfriend back to France, where his depression and dislocation poison everything; and Khady, a penniless widow put out by her husband's family with nothing but the name of a distant cousin in France.

    In Marie NDiaye's stunning narration we see the progress by which ordinary women discover unimagined reserves of strength.
