Riambel

By Priya Hein

In a Mauritian village haunted by the legacy of slavery, a young girl's life is forever changed by a wealthy family's secrets.

Fifteen-year-old Noemi leaves school to work for the De Grandbourg family, crossing the road from her slum to their opulent estate. There, she confronts a world of stark contrasts, echoing her ancestors' servitude. Drawn to a pair of green eyes and the family's hidden history, Noemi's life mirrors those of women before her, caught in a cycle of servitude and seduction.

Riambel is more than a story of servitude; it's a herstory of Mauritius, a tale of resistance, and a call to challenge injustice. Priya Hein contrasts natural beauty with the abuse of power, inviting readers to protest against class and ethnic structures. Discover a world of enchantment, violence, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
