Adi of Boutanga: A Story from Cameroon
Alain Serge Dzotap
Thirteen-year-old Adi lives in western Cameroon, where she swims in the river, makes dolls for her younger sisters, and records unfamiliar words at school. Her life changes when Uncle Amadou, the family’s most powerful member, says she is old enough to marry. Afraid of what that means, Adi is supported by her parents, who arrange for her to attend a school where she can live and learn without fear. The story is translated from the author’s original French.
