Book Synopsis

From critically-acclaimed author Mbella Sonne Dipoko, A Few Days and Nights follows the dramatic love life of a young Cameroonian student as he faces the obstacles of living as a Black man in France.

When Doumbe makes the journey from Cameroon to Paris to study, he dreams of becoming a writer. Living in the city of love, however, quickly begins to take its toll on his romantic life.

Despite falling for a French girl, Thérèse, and vowing to leave his womanising''s ways behind, he can''t resist falling back into old habits when he meets her beautiful best friend. Neither Thérèse''s suffering nor her father''s disapproval of her African boyfriend can convince him to give up his unfaithful lifestyle. But a tragic event suddenly forces Doumbe to face the consequences of his actions...

A Few Days and Nights paints a vivid picture of 1960s Paris through the eyes of its students, detailing their hopes, failures, and experiences of deep prejudice.<
