The renowned botanist Michel Adanson lies on his deathbed, the masterwork to which he dedicated his life still incomplete. As he expires, the last word to escape his lips is a woman's name: Maram. The key to this mysterious woman's identity is Adanson's unpublished memoir of the years he spent in Senegal, concealed in a secret compartment in a chest of drawers. Therein lies a story as fantastical as it is Maram, it turns out, is none other than the fabled revenant. A young woman of noble birth from the kingdom of Waalo, Maram was sold into slavery but managed to escape from the Island of Goře, a major embarkation point of the transatlantic slave trade, to a small village hidden in the forest. While on a research expedition in West Africa as a young man, Adanson hears the story of the revenant and becomes obsessed with finding her. Accompanied by his guide, he ventures deep into the Senegalese bush on a journey that reveals not only the savagery of the French colonial occupation but also the unlikely transports of the human heart.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Diop Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Fiction Diop Transit   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Fiction Diop Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books Diop Checked out 05/14/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Diop Checked out 05/15/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books Diop Shelving Cart   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Diop Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Fiction Diop Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Fiction Diop Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList Pahala P/S Library Adult Fiction Diop Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
