| Synopsis: |
Lucy Gladwell arrives in Mauritius to live with her aunt and uncle in their grand plantation house. In this island paradise, she is free to let her thoughts drift. If only they did not drift to such subjects as the restrictions of colonial society, or the bigoted outbursts of her uncle, or the disquieting attractions of Don Lambodar, a young translator from Ceylon. But there is growing unease. It is 1825, and the age of slavery is coming to an end. Word is reaching the island of revolts in Europe and the Americas. For Lucy, for Don, and for everyone on Mauritius, a devastating storm is coming... |
