Octobre 1916, à Delta en Louisiane, une femme noire fait une entrée remarquée dans la ville à bord d'une limousine avec un chauffeur en livrée. Qui est-elle? Les murmures de curiosité font bientôt place à l'admiration lorsque l'on sait qu'il s'agit là de Madame C.J. Walker, première noire américaine millionnaire, qui a bâti petit à petit sa fortune en créant une ligne de produits capillaires pour les femmes aux cheveux crépus. De retour dans sa ville natale, elle se souvient de l'époque où elle s'appelait Sarah, avait sept ans et vivait dans une case avec ses parents qui allaient mourir de la fièvre jaune. 12086

Work Description
Born to former slaves on a Louisiana plantation in 1867, Madam C.J. Walker rose from poverty and indignity to become America's first black female millionaire, the head of a hugely successful beauty company, and a leading philanthropist in African American causes. Renowned author Alex Haley became fascinated by the story of this extraordinary heroine, and before his death in 1992, he embarked on the research and outline of a major novel based on her life. Now with The Black Rose, critically acclaimed writer Tananarive Due brings Haley's work to an inspiring completion. Blending documented history, vivid dialogue, and a sweeping fictionalized narrative, Tananarive Due paints a vivid portrait of this passionate and tenacious pioneer and the unforgettable era in which she lived.
