Telling your life story to your "child who knows how to listen" is an old tradition among the Baluba. It is at the same time instruction, information and transmission. But most often, for the listener, it is a dive into the extended family history and, at times, it joins the story itself. But what is neither old nor usual is to transcribe these "heard" stories to make "written" stories. A book. It is in this step, still rare in Congolese society, that Vicky Mujinga has offered us this masterful story of the life of her mother, Mwa Mbuyi MBIYA Bilonda.
Bilonda's memory opens on the setting of her childhood, in the province of Katanga, in the time of the Belgian Congo, now the Democratic Republic of Congo.
