French author, Soline Lippe de Thoisy, presented her second novel L’ Ile des Rois to local literature lovers at Alliance Francaise in Gaborone on Thursday evening.

The french novel, set in Gaborone and Maun, tells the story of a couple that mistakenly thought their love to be invincible.  Politics, corruption and sickness threatens to get the best of them, but to save their love and lives, the couple decided to take refuge on Chief’s Island in the Okavango Delta.   Lippe de Thoisy said the theme of the book was betrayal.

She added that her writing is influenced by everyday life and that once she has an idea on what to write, she puts it to paper.  She said it took her four years to write the book because she often had to take a break to attend to work commitments.
