Description

An Impossible Return A Novel by Caroline Laurent In 1967, life in the Chagos Archipelago is peaceful and easy for Marie. Her fierce independence and love for her home are quickly apparent to Gabriel, the handsome and sophisticated secretary to the archipelago's administrator. As these two lovers from neighboring islands welcome a new son, their bright future seems possible. However, Gabriel is hiding a terrible secret: the Mauritian government is negotiating independence from Britain, and this deal will mean evacuating the Chagos without warning or mercy - a betrayal that will put their love to the test. Inspired by a shocking travesty of justice, Caroline Laurent paints a shimmering portrait of island life, a sensual paradise lost, and a gorgeous star-crossed love against all odds. Laurent's novel is a powerful exploration of injustice, devastating secrets, and the painful price of independence.
