"A weary uncle, his beloved niece, a woman fleeing her husband, a vengeful gang leader. A monumental novel narrated by a powder keg of an island: Mauritius."

The island rewinds and spins a tale. We follow each of the characters in turn until their fates intertwine. We will also go back in time to understand how the people, their bondage, and the logic of the modern world have destroyed this land of wonders and divided its inhabitants.
In language alternately tender and ironic, sharp and poetic, Ananda Devi sweeps us awy into a novel impossible to put down. Fate is at work, and humankind in chaos in this social drama, a contemporary fable and an enlightened meditation on the tragedy of humankind divided. A unique, redemptive perspective and style.
