DRC: Thirteen-year-old publishes first novel

A 13-year old girl published her first novel on Wednesday, with the story of young love drawing plaudits from critics for its groundbreaking style. Magalie's Triumph by Victoire Calissa Ikama Ngala began arriving in bookshops around the Republic of Congo capital, Brazzaville, as critics noted its conversational, screenplay-like feel - a break from many French-language novels that are written in more formal prose.
