In the Company of Men book by Véronique Tadjo

In the Company of Men is a powerful literary novel inspired by the 2014–2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa. Rather than following one central character, the novel moves through many voices—patients, doctors, volunteers, survivors, families, even the Baobab tree and the virus itself—to show the human, emotional, and environmental impact of the epidemic. It draws on real experiences from the crisis while blending fiction, testimony, and poetic storytelling.

Véronique Tadjo explores grief, fear, solidarity, and humanity’s relationship with nature, showing how communities respond to loss and crisis. The Baobab tree acts as a symbolic witness, reflecting on memory, ecology, and human responsibility. The novel is lyrical, reflective, and deeply moving. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
