Produktbeschreibung

Decades after being separated from her mother at birth in a small West African village, a woman embarks on a search for the mother she never knewthrough this journey, she discovers herself amid a hidden past.

Maryline Anna Roux was born in Vieux-Badien, Ivory Coast. After a year with her white French father, she flew alone to France, leaving behind her African mother and the only world she had known. When her father died a few years later, his sisterMaryline's godmotheradopted her, bringing her into a household with an irascible husband and two sons.

Shadows of the Ivory is the intimate story of a daughter's lifelong search across three continents for the woman who gave her life. It is a memoir about longing and belonging, about growing up between worlds and never quite fitting into any of them.

From West African villages to the streets of France, from United Airlines flight aisles to yoga studios and world-class running competitions, Maryline's singular journey transforms into a heroine's quest.

This is a story about immigration and identity, about motherhood and its absence. It is about what we inherit and what we loseand what we must create for ourselves when the answers we seek remain forever out of reach.

A multicultural memoir about loss, resilience, and the courage to confront your fears and claim your truth.

For readers who loved Educated by Tara Westover, The Faraway Brothers by Lauren Markham, and The Girl with Seven Names by Hyeonseo Lee, Shadows of the Ivory offers a powerful narrative on family, identity, and the unbreakable bond between mother and child.
