The novel interwines the stories of three characters (Gani, Maho, Mani) that make the act of
marronnage in last two centuries’ Martinique. The marronnage is the gateway in the woods in
order to escape from the plantation’s slavery system. The multiplicity of narrative
focalizations and the multilingualism between French and creole, structure a “choral
discourse” that rewrites Martinique’s history written by the colonizers.
