Fafa : An Idyll on the Banks of a River by Ebou Dibba

A lyrical follow-up to Chaff on the Wind, continuing the world of 1930s Gambia through the next generation of characters. Picking up threads from the world of Chaff on the Wind, Fafa moves closer to the river itself as an organizing presence in Gambian life — the source of livelihood, identity, and spiritual meaning for the communities along its banks. More lyrical and introspective than its predecessor, the novel follows characters whose parents appeared in the first book, tracing how decisions made a generation earlier echo through the lives of their children. Together the two novels form the nearest thing Gambia has to a family saga in its literary tradition.
