In the organizer's words:

Reading and discussion with Efua Traoré:

City kid Simi is sent to spend the vacations with her grandmother in a remote village. How is she supposed to survive the summer vacation without a cell phone, internet and television? And her grandmother is also a stranger to Simi, because until recently her mother had never spoken to her. Simi learns little about the reason for the estrangement between the women. Determined to uncover the family secret, Simi sets off in search of answers. Her magical journey begins in the red quicksand of a forbidden lake ...

Efua Traoré reads from her fantastic children's novel with the Nigerian protagonist Simi, who sets off on a journey into the history of her family. The novel was awarded the Times/Chicken House Prize in England and the Zilveren Griffel in the Netherlands.
