소설
A British diplomat drags his wife and children to the Seychelles in 1960, but it is not a paradise for all: “Wonderful . . . A true page-turner” (Joan Silber). When her husband, Rupert is posted to the remote Seychelle Islands in the Indian Ocean, Penelope is less than thrilled. While her sun-kissed children run barefoot on the beach and become enraptured by the ancient magic, or grigri, in the tropical colonial outpost, Rupert falls under another kind of spell—cast by a local beauty who won’t stop until she gets what she wants. Desperate to save her marriage, Penelope turns to black magic, exposing her family to the island’s sinister underbelly. Soon, they will all find their lives forever changed, in a novel that is both a suspenseful psychological drama and “an amusingly poignant look at the British abroad in the spirit of Evelyn Waugh” (Publishers Weekly).
