Title : Where dogs bark with their tails - Estelle-Sarah Bulle - Book

Summary :

Eugène Dabit Prize 2018 - Stanislas Prize 2018

In the Ezechiel family, Antoine is the one who calls the shots. With her "savannah name," chosen to confuse evil spirits, her bizarre beliefs, and her sense of independence, she is the most indomitable of the siblings. Neither Lucinde nor Petit-Frère have ever managed to stand up to her. But her memory is like a gold mine. A thousand nuggets of memories spring from it, which her niece, a young woman born in the Parisian suburbs and torn by her mixed-race identity, eagerly collects. Over the course of their conversations, Antoine brings to life for her the family history that has been closely linked to that of Guadeloupe since the end of the 1940s: childhood in the depths of the countryside, the splendors and slums of Pointe-à-Pitre, trade in the Caribbean Sea, the inevitable exile to the metropolis... Intensely romantic, carried by a lively language where a touch of Creole surfaces, Là où les chiens aboient par la queue embraces the destiny of an entire generation of West Indians caught between two worlds.
