Secretly Yours

Publisher JC Lattès
COLLECTION La grenade
Keywords Undocumented
A clever, lively, unsettling novel, beyond taboos, about a young man's journey from Cameroon to France and life as an undocumented refugee.

As part of his application for a residence permit, a young illegal immigrant is summoned to take a French language proficiency test. Stung, he responds to the administration by sending the book that you are holding in your hands: a novel whose style is both eloquent and blunt, the story of his arrival in France. Secretly Yours never mentions colonization or skin colour but you will enjoy the scathing humour of a young man who dreams of leaving Cameroon to study political science in France.
