Title: Mon étincelle
Description: Étincelle is a girl who finds herself on board a plane that connects two islands of her country, the Comoros. Taken in the turmoil of the theft, and torn between two amorous liaisons, she will recall some of the stories her mother told her, starting with the sumptuous and tragic one that was to give her birth one day. My étincelle remakes the eternal game of love and chance that unites the lovers. After Anguille sous roche (Special Mention of the Wepler Prize, Senghor Prize of the Francophone novel), Ali Zamir confirms with his second novel his talent as storyteller. According to the stories of characters with the most unlikely names - Sparkle, Sweetness, Pain, Efferalgan, Dafalgan, Vitamin, Calcium - one discovers the insular, truculent and contrasted world of a decidedly atypical writer.--Page 4 of cover.
