THE WIFE OF A MARRIED MAN (Jean Germaine Ndjana)

"My choice is all made. I want to be a second. I want to be the wife of a polygamist or nothing. It no longer inspires me to wait for a valiant young man with good intentions to decide to come and honor me at my father's, just as it absolutely no longer inspires me that he is young, since I, at 29, am already almost old. I do not think I will put my last years of youth in the hands of someone who, for society, has only just been born at thirty: ''a man does not age. He is like good wine.'' But a woman, after her thirties, must hope for a miracle from God to still claim to be a wife. I will wait for nothing. I have already given everything in my single life and for the end of my single life, I will give everything not to become a spinster."

Suspense, intrigue, convictions and disillusionments, calculations and strategies, engagements and breakups, skillfully served by a lively pen and a style accessible to all, allow us to discover Jean Germaine Ndjana with great pleasure and emotion in this quest for a feminine ideal in perpetual redefinition.
