       Terre ceinte"--Title page verso 
520    "A novel about cowardice and courage in the face of 
       repression, from a powerful new voice of French-African 
       literature. The imaginary country of Sumal is a happy 
       place, until, that is, it's taken hostage by a 
       fundamentalist jihadist organization called The 
       Brotherhood. The populace quickly becomes locked in a 
       climate of violence, falling under the control of the 
       militias as they impose silence, terror and the most rigid
       moral laws. Prohibitions and public executions become the 
       norm, while a handful of intellectuals try to oppose the 
       new order by publishing an underground newspaper. 
       Repression on the part of the Islamic police is swift and 
       ruthless, and it sows doubt in the minds of the activists:
       how can their endeavour be good, if it causes detention, 
       torture, and worse, to those who read it? But there is no 
       climate of terror that can stop love from blossoming, and 
       so it does, powerfully, among two members of the secret 
       resistance group, as love and death tangle together. This,
       and the wider story, are narrated through letters 
       exchanged by the young couple's grieving mothers."--
