"Mysterious leaf parcels. Yawè lays them out on the ground and opens them slowly, a little at a time, to create an atmosphere of suspense... Her hands loosen the knots. The wrapped leaves open. Each leaf contains wonders that only a Baka could truly understand..."

Luis Devin, The Forest Has You
(La foresta ti ha - Castelvecchi/LIT Edizioni)
