Rosie Carpe by Marie NDiaye is a haunting and atmospheric novel about identity, displacement, and the struggle for belonging. The story follows Rosie, a fragile and disoriented woman who arrives in Guadeloupe with her young son, searching for a fresh start and a connection with her estranged brother, Lazare. As she navigates an unfamiliar and often hostile world, her past unravels in fragmented memories of a troubled youth in France, failed relationships, and a deep sense of alienation. NDiaye masterfully blends psychological depth with a surreal and dreamlike narrative, creating a protagonist who is both vulnerable and elusive. The novel explores themes of abandonment, self-destruction, and the lingering effects of trauma, all set against the backdrop of an exotic yet indifferent landscape.
