A Segurança Internacional se converteu, de temática restrita às chancelarias e círculos restritos do poder e da burocracia internacionais, em preocupação cotidiana do cidadão bem informado, assunto imprescindível ao debate político contemporâneo ou objeto privilegiado da pesquisa acadêmica na área das Relações Internacionais.

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou.

Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
