Texaco

Book • 1992
The novel presents a non-linear narrative through the voice of Marie-Sophie Laborieux, daughter of a freed slave, recounting her family's history from the early 19th century to the late 20th century.

It weaves together personal memories, historical context, and magical realism to depict the struggles and triumphs of the community in Texaco.

The book explores themes of language, cultural identity, and the complex relationships between French and Creole cultures in Martinique.
