Immerse yourself in the story of Tituba, a black slave in the 17th century, through the voice of Maryse Condé. Born from a rape on a slave ship, Tituba is initiated into the magical arts in Barbados and then sold to a pastor in Salem, Massachusetts. Accused of witchcraft, she is imprisoned, but Condé rescues her from oblivion, returning her to her homeland in times of slave revolts. This novel explores themes of freedom, tolerance, feminism, and the fight against injustice, offering an empathetic and necessary perspective on the life of an excluded woman.
