Description

Okomo's journey of self-discovery in Equatorial Guinea is a powerful exploration of identity and rebellion. This debut novel tells the story of an orphaned teenager who lives under the watchful eye of her grandmother, dreaming of finding her father. Forbidden from seeking him out, Okomo turns to a group of outcasts for support, including her gay uncle and a gang of girls reveling in their individuality. As she becomes drawn into their illicit trysts, Okomo finds herself falling in love with their leader and rebelling against the rigid norms of Fang culture. With its unique perspective on LGBTQ+ literature, La Bastarda is a moving coming-of-age story that explores themes of freedom, identity, and the power of female relationships. Translated into English for the first time, this novel offers a fresh voice from Equatorial Guinea, shedding light on the experiences of women and girls in a society often overlooked.
