---------------------------------------- A novel about cowardice and courage in the face of repression, from a powerful new voice of French-African literatureWINNER of the French Voices Grand Prize, Prix Ahmadou Kourouma, and Grand Prix du Roman Métis
Mohamed Mbougar Sarr’s searing and thought-provoking debut novel, Brotherhood takes place in the imaginary town of Kalep, where a fundamentalist Islamist government has spread its brutal authority.
Under the regime of the so-called Brotherhood, two young people are publicly executed for having loved each other. In response, their mothers begin a secret correspondence, their only outlet for the grief they share and each woman’s personal reckoning with a leadership that would take her beloved child’s life.
At the same time, spurred on by their indignation at what seems to be an escalation of The Brotherhood’s brutality, a band of intellectuals and free-thinkers seeks to awaken the conscience of the cowed populace and foment rebellion by publishing an underground newspaper. While they gr with the implications of what they have done, the regime’s brutal leader begins a personal crusade to find the responsible parties, and bring them to his own sense of justice.
In this brilliant analysis of tyranny and brutality, Mbougar Sarr explores the ways in which resistance and heroism can often give way to cowardice, all while giving voice to the moral ambiguities and personal struggles involved in each of his characters’ search to impose the values they hold most dear.

Review Quote
“Mohamed Mbougar Sarr’s first novel is a master stroke.”Review Quote
“In the style of the 19th century masters, Sarr’s text examines a militia’s stranglehold on an imaginary city, a tale that will remind readers of many contemporary news stories. [. . .] A tense, oppressive, terrific story.”Review Quote
“An objectively raw but shockingly beautiful book. The author gives voice to the victims of totalitarianism, and engages his readers emotionally.”Giá sản phẩm trên Tiki đã bao gồm thuế theo luật hiện hành.
