Fabrice Gnana Brou has chosen love as the subject of his second book, “The Choices of the Heart: A Therapy Called Line.” The 240-page novel was dedicated on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at Carrefour bookstore in Abidjan-Cocody.
Brou, a doctor of English linguistics who works in diplomacy, says the book draws on personal experiences and other lived stories. Published by Éditions Zénith, it contains seven chapters and advances two main messages: the importance of assertiveness and the value of knowing oneself.
The novel also addresses the management of relationships and education. It tells the story of Line and Eudes, whose love cannot overcome the pressures of time and their life choices.
Eudes meets Line in high school, where she upends his certainties. A strong relationship grows between them, but hesitation and missed opportunities leave their bond unsettled. Over the years, their paths separate under the influence of circumstances described in the book.
