"Chronique familiale et roman d'amour (parfois incestueux) ayant pour cadre l'île Maurice et pour personnages principaux quelques-uns des 4000 descendants des Français envoyés par le roi au 18e siècle. Intérêt psychologique. Bien documenté. Lecture agréable. Grand prix du roman de l'Académie française 1989. [SDM]."
"Novel of intrigue and mystery, set on an island still undiscovered by tourist, won the 1989 Grand Prix de Roman de l'Academie Francaise."
"A l'île Maurice ou ses ancêtres ont débarqué au XVIIIe siècle, Bénie découvre, à l'exception de quelques marginaux, une société conservatrice, rétrograde et hypocrite. La jubilation et la tendresse que l'auteur éprouve pour les uns n'a d'égale que la férocité avec laquelle elle fustige les autres dans ce beau livre truculent et généreux."
