In its own way, Lettres d’amour en Somalie is an extension of the 19th century traveller’s tales. The story unfolds through a series of letters, which both recount the voyager’s impressions of Africa and express his disarray with a love affair. The images of the present intertwine with the unceasing echoes of a lost love – intimate suffering intermingled with the misery of a country torn apart by internal strife and poverty.
