Simone Schwarz-Bart, a French novelist and playwright of Guadeloupean origin, crafts narratives that delve into themes of identity, exile, and the often-overlooked heroines of history. Her literary contributions, often in collaboration with her husband, include historical novels exploring shared exilic experiences and a monumental encyclopedia honoring Black women. Her solo work, particularly the celebrated Pluie et vent sur Télumée Miracle, stands as a masterpiece of Caribbean literature, distinguished by its powerful storytelling and profound insights into the human condition.

Een arme negervrouw op het Frans-creoolse eiland Guadeloupe vertelt het levensverhaal van haar grootmoeder, moeder en zichzelf.
Autorka čerpá z dôverne známeho prostredia guadeloupských černochov, ktoré zachytáva na osudoch viacerých žien, predovšetkým rozprávačky Télumée a jej starej matky Toussine, prezývanej Kráľovná bez mena. Životná púť statočnej Télumée sa začína v znamení lásky a šťastia, ktoré sa však rozplynie, keď ju opustí jej milovaný Eliáš.
