On a Woman's Madness
Astrid Roemer
Nine days after getting married, Noenka leaves her husband in a squall. The path on which she finds herself is lined with memories, boa constrictors, and flowers--and the repressive, unwritten laws of post-colonial Suriname that inhibit young Black women like her.
