About the Book: Eve Out of Her Ruins
With brutal honesty and poetic urgency, Ananda Devi relates the tale of four
young Mauritians trapped in their countrys endless cycle of fear and violence:
Eve, whose body is her only weapon and source of power; Savita, Eves best
friend, the only one who loves Eve without self-interest, and who has plans to
leave but will not go alone; Saadiq, gifted would-be poet, inspired by Rimbaud,
in love with Eve; Clélio, belligerent rebel, waiting without hope for his
brother to send for him from France. Eve Out of Her Ruins is a heartbreaking
look at the dark corners
