From National Book Awardnominated writer Andrea Lee comes Red Island House, a travel epic that opens a window on the mysterious African island of Madagascar, and on the dangers of life and love in paradise, as seen through the eyes of a Black American heroine.People do mysterious things when they think they have found paradise, reflects Shay, the heroine of Red Island House. When Shay, an intrepid Black American professor, marries Senna, a brash Italian businessman, she doesnt imagine that her lifes greatest adventure will carry her far beyond their home in Milan: to an idyllic stretch of beach in Madagascar where Senna builds a flamboyant vacation villa. Before she knows it, she becomes the reluctant mistress of a sprawling household, caught between her privileged American upbringing and her connection to the continent of her ancestors. So begins Shays journey into the heart of a remote African country. Can she keep her identity and her marriage intact amid the wild beauty and the lingering colonial sins of this mysterious world that both captivates and destroys foreigners?A mesmerizing, powerful tale of travel and selfdiscovery that evokes Isabel Allendes House of the Spirits and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichies Americanah, Red Island House showcases an extraordinary literary voice and gorgeously depicts a lush and unknown world.
