|summary=Set in 1825 Mauritius, this island paradise is the backdrop to social tension and idealism between two young people from very different backgrounds - one a young English girl and the other a young translator from Ceylon working for an exiled Prince. The story has a slightly old fashioned feel to it.

Our thanks to the kind people of Bloomsbury for this welcome trip to Mauritius, even if only in our minds.
If you still hanker for more Mauritian fare but your budget runs short of a holiday there, look no further than [[The Last Brother by Nathacha Appanah]] or [[Eve Out of Her Ruins by Ananda Devi]].
