'Papa, why do you dance when you walk?' When Aden's 8-year-old
daughter asks him this one morning in Paris, he is taken aback. The
question is innocent, but the answer is not so simple. Unable to
resist Bea's inquisitive spirit, he moves silkily between memories
of his childhood: from his silent, mysterious mother and the shanty
roofs of his neighbourhood to the malicious attack that changed his
life forever and the ensuing struggle that made him a man.
Anchoring his memories is a Djibouti on the cusp of independence; a
land of shifting deserts and immense heat, French-from-France
ex-pats, and one lonely and sick boy finding solace in books. Why
Do You Dance When You Walk is a poignant and timeless story of the
complexity of family, the value of poetry and freedom, and the
ripple effect of the traumas that stalk our movement.
