description: Chronicling the beauty and turmoil of a rapidly changing Cameroon Days Come and Go is the remarkable story of three generations of women both within and beyond its borders. Through the voices of Anna a matriarch living out her final days in Paris; Abi Annas thoroughly European daughter (at least in her mothers eyes); and Tina a teenager who comes under the sway of a militant terrorist faction Boums epic is generous and all-seeing. Brilliantly considering the many issues that dominate her characters liveslove and politics tradition and modernityDays Come and Go in Nchanji Njamnsis vivid translation is a page-turner by way of Frantz Fanon and V. S. Naipaul. As passions rise fall and rise again Boum's stirring English-language debut offers a discerning portrait of a nation that never once diminishes the power of everyday human connection.
