“To enter deep into the heart of the realm of the Zafimaniry is to be as a drop of rain sliding down a rose petal. It is a journey through garden unlike any other.”
In the southern central highlands on the island of Madagascar live a people named the Zafimaniry, whose excellence in woodworking has earned them the highest accolades. Young Tsiry, who can speak with his great-grandfather’s spirit, is entrusted by his elder with a mission as essential as it is delicate—namely, persuading his father to cut back on production so as stave off deforestation.
