I mean a novel written originally in French by a francophone African writer. in it, the author discusses the plight of the child raised in a single parent home.
The examples that readily come to my mind are: Calixthe Beyala's C'est le soleil qui m'a brule and Tu t'appeleras Tanga.These are novels written originally in French by a Francophone African writer, precisely, a Cameroonian female writer.
