Tumbulu, the Only Daughter

This book is a rare testimony of a fascinating and thrilling biography of the only daughter of a privileged Gambian couple in Faraba Banta village. Tumbulu was raised under excessive and indulgent parental attachment, and she was not well accustomed to the myths and the traditions of the Mandinka culture as other girls are. In the dawn of her adulthood, clouds darkened the horizon over her as challenging mishaps circumvented her life—a life her mother created. “I told you so,” her mother said when time witnessed her most awkward predicament that rendered melancholic boomerang on her family.
