THE PRISONER OF PARADISE PB

Gunesekera, Romesh

Εκδότης Bloomsbury , ISBN 9781408830376

Lucy Gladwell arrives in Mauritius from England to live with her aunt and uncle at their grand plantation house. Under the surface of this beautiful island paradise, poised between India and Africa, there is unease, and Lucy cannot help but feel discomfited by the restrictions she sees around her, and by the strangely attractive Don Lambodar, a young translator from Ceylon. It is 1825: the age of slavery is coming to its messy end, and word is lapping against the shores of the island of a charismatic new Indian leader who will shine the light of liberty.

For Lucy, for Don, for everyone on the island, a devastating storm is coming...
