Reviews

“Daniel Picouly is an award-winning author who explores contemporary issues through historical fiction. In The Leopard Boy, the slave trade and its legacies link Africa, Europe, and the Americas during the French Revolution. Jeanne Garane has done an excellent job interpreting Picouly's words and worlds."" —Chantal Kalisa, University of Nebraska, author of Violence in Francophone African and Caribbean Women’s Literature.
