Ninet Zorj Sari

Emma from Senegal and Socrates from Asia Minor get to know each other through correspondence, fall in love, meet, and marry. Their first child, Ninette. Ninette is born in Istanbul in 1911, and from there begins her personal journey of maturation through time and space. She lives in Odessa, Athens, Paris, and Saint-Louis in Senegal. She starts as a rebellious child, full of questions that trouble her parents and sisters, and evolves into a calm, wise, and remarkable young woman who earns everyone's admiration. But how does this change occur? What is it that preoccupied Ninette and prevented her from unfolding all the facets of her character? The answer is given by her through her travels and experiences. We follow her from the moment of her birth and accompany her through her childhood, studies, coming of age, and finally her marriage, closing a life cycle filled with friendships, loves, joys, and disappointments.
