The novel depicts the lives of ‎African refugees and illegal immigrants who have fled their countries on cracked old boats. It ‎is written in an attractive and humorous language, especially the name of the characters such as ‎the Fakir Ajatashatru Lavash Patel is humorous (his name in French resembles the phrase: “he ‎has swallowed the steeled screw.” The novel describes impossible events in such a way that ‎they can be believed to have happened.
