La Bastarda by Trifonia Melibea Obono
Set in a small village in Equatorial Guinea, the story follows Okomo, a young girl who grapples with her identity and societal expectations in a patriarchal society. Raised by her grandmother after her mother's death and her father's absence, Okomo is considered an outsider, or "bastard," by her community. As she navigates her adolescence, she discovers a secret romance between her uncle and another man, which challenges her understanding of love and acceptance. Through her journey, Okomo confronts cultural taboos and seeks to carve out her own path in a world that seeks to confine her.
