The Tide Remembers

The Tide Remembers by Brinda PhokeerdassWhen a yellowed letter postmarked Port Louis, 1976 arrives at her London flat, Claire's carefully constructed life begins to unravel. Drawn back to the crumbling estate of L'Envers on the haunting coast of Mauritius, she finds a house that breathes with memory-and a sea that whispers her name. As buried memories resurface and a forgotten seagrass doll leads to a chilling discovery, Claire must confront the truth she drowned long ago.
But the past does not rest easily, and someone-or something-has been waiting. Interwoven with the perspective of a historian searching for colonial secrets, The Tide Remembers is a gothic mystery of grief, identity, and the echo of a child lost to both water and silence. In the depths of memory, love and betrayal surface like bodies the ocean refuses to keep.
