Chronicle of the Seven Sorrows by P Chamoiseau

Chronicle of the Seven Sorrows traces the rise and fall of Pipi Soleil, king of the wheelbarrow at the vegetable market of Fort-de-France, in a tale as lively and magical as the marketplace itself. In a Martinique where creatures from folklore walk the land and cultural traditions cling tenuously to life, Patrick Chamoiseau's characters confront the crippling heritage of colonialism and the overwhelming advance of modernization with touching dignity, hilarious resourcefulness, and truly courageous joie de vivre.
