90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books
'I walked in a daze of illusions toward my future.'
Deeply felt and told with an intrepid spirit, Tales from the Heart are the intimate, formative stories from the childhood of the legendary Caribbean writer, Maryse Condé.
These affecting vignettes follow Condé's early encounters with love, grief, friendship, as she navigates the pernicious legacy of slavery and colonialism in her home of Guadeloupe and as a student in Paris.
