'If this book was a record, we would be calling it an instant classic. Because that's what it is'Guardian
'Leaves you believing not only in the redemptive power of music but above all the redemptive power of love. Funny and wise, sweet and true' Independent
Fast, fun, and remarkably deft: a sharp-edged portrait that manages at once to be vicious, generous, and utterly good-natured
—— Kirkus ReviewsA stunning reaffirmation of Africa and its peoples... It's a starburst
—— John A. WilliamsThe grand queen, the empress, of Caribbean literature
—— Fiammetta Rocco , GuardianMaryse Condé is an extraordinary storyteller who brings the history of an African kingdom alive as vividly as if it existed today. Suspenseful, shocking, panoramic and hugely engrossing, the novel explores the politics and impact of external and domestic forces on nineteenth century west Africa through wonderfully realised characters and their complicated relationships. This is a great novel: unputdownable and unforgettable
—— Bernardine EvaristoIf there were no tools on a desert island, I would take Segu by Maryse Condé. This generational family saga has so many layers that I can read and reread it, in between figuring out how to build a raft
—— Chibundu Onuzo , Time OutRichly textured and detailed, this narrative, alternating between the lives of various characters, illuminates magnificently a little known historical period. Virtually every page glitters with nuggets of cultural fascination
—— Howard Kaplan , Los Angeles TimesA wondrous novel about a period of African history few other writers have addressed
—— Charles L. Larson , New York Times Book Review
