Paperback. Condition: New. Fifteen-year-old Noemi has no choice but to leave school and work in the house of the wealthy De Grandbourg family. Just across the road from the slums where she grew up, she encounters a world that is starkly different from her own - yet one which would have been all too familiar to her ancestors. Bewitched by a pair of green eyes and haunted by echoes, her life begins to mirror those of girls who have gone before her. Within Noemi's lament is also the herstory of Mauritius; the story of women who have resisted arrest, of teachers who care for their poorest pupils and encourage them to challenge traditional narratives, of a flawed Paradise undergoing slow but unstoppable change.In Riambel, Priya Hein invites us to protest, to rail against longstanding structures of class and ethnicity. She shows us a world of natural enchantment contrasted with violence and the abuse of power. This seemingly simple tale of servitude, seduction and abandonment blisters with a fierce sense of injustice.…

'Set against the lush beauty and brutal history of Mauritius, this novel explores heartbreak, homecoming, and healing with lyrical power.' Brittle Paper'[a] vivid examination of love, generational trauma and how the impact of slavery still haunts Mauritian lives.' National Geographic Traveller'A beautiful, melancholy story.A tale of longing and regret, of missed chances, of stillborn dreams.' Ananda Devi, author of Eve Out of Her Ruins'The narrative of 'some exotic girl from a faraway island' could have easily fallen into cliche in the hands of a lesser writer. But in Tamarin, Priya Hein tells the story with such bravery, candour, and evocative detail that I often mistook it for a true account. Her Mauritius mirrors my Trinidad in ways that felt both familiar and thrilling to explore. Women everywhere will see themselves their deepest loves and betrayals, and their most delicate relationships reflected in these pages.' Celeste Mohammed, author ofEver Since We Small and Pleasantview, winner of the OCM Bocas Prize 2022'There are books whose characters haunt you long after you've turned the last page. Anita Ram gets under your skin without you even realising it. Tamarin is one of those books where even melancholy knows how to be coquettish. Priya Hein is a grain of sand that the Indian Ocean cannot ignore.' Ari Gautier, author of Lakshmi's Secret Diary'Tamarin is a lush, gorgeous novel. Priya Hein's prose is transportive. It is impossible not to feel the sand, smell the incense, taste the khir. But beneath the sensory richness lies an achingly melancholic story of loss, betrayal, and the quiet, restorative power of coming back home.' James Roseman, author of Placeholders Following the international success of her debut Riambel, Hein's heart-wrenching new novel reveals the violence and beauty inherent in her native Mauritius.

This seemingly simple tale of servitude, seduction and abandonment blisters with a fierce sense of injustice.'Priya Hein has given us a book that should be essential reading for all those who care about our history, in particular the devastating legacy of slavery; but what is extraordinary is that she tells this harrowing story in the most beautiful prose, luminous and musical, drawing in the reader before hitting them hard with the reality of her young narrators life, and the humiliations and pain she endures because of this very legacy. Today more than ever, this story needs to be told; Priya Hein does so movingly and powerfully. Ananda Devi, author of Eve Out of Her RuinsRiambel bravely grasps the complexity of ethnic relationships in Mauritius . . . displaying great art in the sense of shame blended with indignation and in the gaps in what is not said.
