Books by Paule Constant

Based loosely on Paule Constant's own experiences, Private Property is at once deeply moving and intellectually exacting, an exploration of identity, home, and the tenuous relationship between mothers and daughters.

After answering a classified ad placed by an import-export company looking for energetic young men willing to take on responsibilities for its African branches - no diploma required - Victor finds himself on The Will of God, a dilapidated boat heading into the heart of darkness as even Conrad couldn't have imagined.
