The book 'It's God's wish' includes a novelette with this same title, which relates the troubled relationship of the protagonist who is a French Catholic priest with a couple of American missionaries that set a church in the same village in West Africa where he preaches. This novelette is accompanied by six more short stories.
Below is a glimpse of the novelette that opens up the anthology: The orange sphere of the setting sun glowed above the western golden hill tops, sneaking time and again between the broad leaves of the tick trees, which separated the hotel from the horizon line; a crimson sunset so typical to this part of the world, was in mid setting.
Father Felix Desirade parked his light bike at the narrow parking place at the feet of the balcony of the village's sole hotel. He climbed the stairs that led to the hotel's entrance ponderously, and uttered a sigh of relief as he reached the balcony's plain. He crossed the entrance of the small restaurant and reviewed with a comprehensive gaze the restaurant's empty hall. A typical African music filled the air, and at the bar near the entrance stood a young African, listening to A typical African music filled the air, and at the bar near the entrance stood a young African, listening to the local radio station.
'Are there any guests today Francois?' Father Desirad asked him while advancing towards the bar.
The young African nodded his head from side to side, and a shade of a smile appeared on his face as he asked: 'Pastis?'
