Ananda Devi 
Eve Out of Her Ruins 

With brutal honesty and poetic urgency, Ananda Devi relates the tale of four young Mauritians trapped in their country’s endless cycle of fear and violence.
Eve out of Her Ruins is a heartbreaking look at the Mauritius tourists don’t see, and an exploration of the construction of personhood at the margins of society.
