The Fighting Woman (Dr Françoise Bigirimana)
Rosana grew up carefree. Life didn't return the favour. A novel about faith, ambition, and what it costs to want success at any price.
Rosana grows up in a harmonious, hard-working family — games, learning, youth movements shape her over the years. She fights for her life with determination, driven by a single ambition: success, which she pursues relentlessly, guided by an unshakeable faith.
When happiness slips away
But happiness doesn't come. Like a worm in the fruit, the dizzying social rise of Thomas, her husband, drags the couple into an inescapable spiral. Rosana, ever the fighting woman, faces the household's dire situation with clear eyes — until, at last, the sun of hope for a better life appears on the horizon.
The author, Dr Françoise Bigirimana, doesn't write from a theorist's armchair: a public health physician and former WHO official, she spent twelve years as a clinician and led HIV and tuberculosis programmes before founding two NGOs — SWAA-Burundi and FVS-Amade. Named Knight of the National Order of Burkina Faso in 2010, she knows first-hand what it means to fight for others without losing yourself.
