Alou, a young honey hunter is attacked by Islamists one day and they destroy the tree where he goes to collect honey. Among the destruction he finds a statue which he takes to the village hogon, who then tells him that the statue is named "A red Mother with Child", a 14th century African sculpture.
The village hogon tells him that it is of the utmost importance that the statue be taken to the Louvre, where it can be kept safe, and so Alou sets off for Paris with a goal and obsession to entrust the precious statue to the Louvre Museum!
The story then follows Alou's journey and the difficulties he faces along the way. It was an interesting read but I felt that the story was rushed and very little emphasis was given to each event.
