In a powerful second novel, Maureen Earl puts a new and fascinating twist on an old story: the Holocaust as experienced by a boatload of Jewish refugees who are refused entrance to Palestine and are imprisoned by the British on the tropical island of Mauritius. Her clean, flowing style and expert storytelling turn what could have been just another grim historical footnote into an extremely readable and ultimately moving novel.
