In The Company of Men: Review - Veronique Tadjo In The Company of Men looks at the effects and outcomes of the Ebola epidemic that left devastation in West Africa from 2014 to 2016

Very few will quickly forget the two-year pandemic that saw more than 4.5 million people lose their lives across the world. Those left behind carry the scars of losing loved ones in isolation, under lockdowns, and under restrictions, we never thought we would see.

The book opens and closes with a Baobab tree that speaks of the importance of harmony between nature, animals and people, something the tree says used to exist before rapid industrialisation. In the novel, the tree is highly critical of man’s role in the degradation of nature and how the epidemic is a consequence of them “waging war on the forest” by cutting down trees to make wood and paper.

how she wanted to write a different kind of novel that not only documented the epidemic’s effects on West Africa between 2014 and 2016 but also included unique voices to show how animals, humans and plants were affected by Ebola. Another theme Tadjo touches on in the novel is the importance of western and indigenous medical practices. Tadjo unapologetically shines the gaze of her book on how there became a sudden need for doctors to recruit the assistance of traditional healers to help educate people on Ebola, its symptoms and the health implications. human beings and not just gender. The novel brings together animals, people and nature. These forces in the ecosystem of life need to be one and in harmony.
