Memoir of a Mauritian Grandmother: Salt, Sugar, and Sega Nights
by Brinda Phokeerdass
In this luminous and deeply moving memoir, Brinda transports us to the heart of Mauritius-a sun-drenched island alive with scent, sound, and spirit. Through the eyes of a village girl who becomes a mother, a factory worker, and eventually a grandmother, we are swept into a world where salt from the sea, sugar from the cane fields, and the pulsing rhythm of sega drums shape not just landscapes, but lives.
With poetic intimacy and cultural richness, Brinda recounts the daily rituals, unspoken struggles, and quiet triumphs of Mauritian womanhood. From barefoot childhood days in L'Escalier to the whirlwind of love, loss, and labor in Rose-Belle, this memoir is a celebration of resilience, food, family, faith-and the enduring strength of community.
A story of memory, identity, and belonging, this is Mauritius as it's rarely seen-through the eyes of one extraordinary ordinary woman.
