| Maryse Condé, the French-Guadeloupean author, who wrote about slavery, colonialism, sexuality and African dictatorships in more than 20 novels, plays and essays, has died aged 90. | |
| Born Maryse Boucolon in the Pointe-à-Pitre in the 1930s, she went on to marry the Guinean actor Mamadou Condé and moved to his home country, then to Ghana, Mali and Senegal. | |
| Among her most celebrated novels are Ségu and Hérémakhonon - which means "Waiting for Happiness" in the west African Malinke language. | |
| The latter novel follows a Paris-educated Guadeloupean woman, who realises that her struggle to locate her identity is an inner journey, rather than a geographical one. | |
| Ms Condé was awarded France’s Legion of Honour in 2004. She also won an alternative to the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2018, when the Swedish academy award was halted over a rape scandal. | |
