This was such an unconventional read. I don't know who I could even recommend it to – some people I could envisage falling in love with it, but equally finding it too slow and opaque. But it's a story about dreams, desperation, justice, freedom, and even love. It's made me never want to go to Mauritius, but I enjoyed this – and the story will sit with me for a long while afterward.
The slow but heavy nature of the story reminded me of another book I reviewed for the Bookbag a while ago – [[Dear Fang, With Love by Rufi Thorpe]], which deals with mental health and a complicated father-daughter relationship. You might also enjoy [[Ogadinma Or, Everything Will Be All Right by Ukamaka Olisakwe]].
