Tamarin

Tamarin Bay, Mauritius, is a travel agent's paradise; a tropical ocean, fishermen unloading their daily catch, children building sandcastles, surfers riding giant waves. But just along the shoreline is the beach of La Preneuse, known as the taker of souls. The island is haunted with tragedy and the remnants of colonial rule. But it is also home, where Anita Ram longs to be following the collapse of her marriage. After enduring a shocking betrayal and the sexism and racism of a cold Britain in the early 21st century, she finds comfort in simple things; her mother's cooking, her childhood bedroom, and a handsome architect. Will these be enough for Anita to find happiness again, or will the ghosts of her past consume her?

Following the international success of her debut Riambel, Hein's heart wrenching new novel reveals the violence and beauty inherent in her native Mauritius.
