![]() For her the years of fruitful child bearing age are passing by, month by month she becomes more sad and upset at the lack of pregnancy. Waiting in the wings at the hospital where they land is a nurse, Marie, who is desperate for a child. This is the short story of Moïse who comes to Mayotte in the arms of his mother as an illegal immigrant. This slim volume of around 160 pages landed on my desk and sometimes it is quite nice just to spend a couple of hours, no more, immersed in a novel – novella even – that is set somewhere so very different.

It became a department and region of France in 2011, but the culture and traditions are rooted in the neighbouring Comoros Islands. Mayotte is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean between Madagascar and the coast of Mozambique. Tropic of Violence by Nathacha Appanah, novel set on the island of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean. ![]() ![]() Novel set on the island of Mayotte in the Indian Ocean ![]()
