«L'aimée de la rivière Noire» is the song-legend of the Hmong people by Lebadang and Mireille Gansel, published by Editions Alternatives in paperback.
A young Hmong woman in love with a boy is forced by her family to marry a rich man who mistreats her. Set in northern Vietnam, it is presented as a chanted song whose poetry conveys daily hardship and the strength of passion; Lebadang's cut-out figures reproduce motifs from Hmong textiles.
Published in 2006, the edition consists of 62 pages and is entirely in French.
For readers interested in Hmong culture, oral tradition poetry, and illustrated books with textile motifs.
