In a literary reversal as deadly serious as it is wickedly satiric, this novel by the acclaimed French-speaking African writer Abdourahman A. Waberi turns the fortunes of the world upside down. On this reimagined globe a stream of sorry humanity flows from the West, from the slums of America and the squalor of Europe, to escape poverty and desperation in the prosperous United States of Africa. It is in this world that an African doctor on a humanitarian mission to France adopts a child. Now a young artist, this girl, Mala ka, travels to the troubled land of her birth in hope of finding her mother--and perhaps something of her lost self. Her search, at times funny and strange, is also deeply poignant, reminding us at every moment of the turns of fate we call truth.

Outstanding quality
Size: 11, Color: Black Faux Leather, Size: 11, Color: Black Faux Leather
The loafers are very comfortable with the puffy insole, very nice quality, and overall a very good shoe. I suggest a half a size up because they are kinda narrow.

Great Bang for Buck! SIZE DOWN!
Size: 11, Color: Tan Faux Leather
The Quality of these shoes are great! They feel good, are a deep brown color, the stitching is good, all in all great shoes. They are comfortable to walk around in making them a versatile choice for any occasion. My only issue was sizing. As everybody says these shoes run big, I am usually a 10.5/11. I went with the 11s and they are slipping off my heels. Size Down!

Overall very good
Size: 9, Color: Black Faux Leather
I liked these loafers very much. The sizing was true, and on point. Fit was comfortable, and the sole’s height wasn’t too exaggerated. Overall very satisfied given the price, however I do wish they looked a bit more luxe,
