Strand Notes

The author's only novel to focus on race is the story of Georges Munier, a wealthy, sensitive young mulatto on the Isle of France (Mauritius), whose father, to protect his sons from racial prejudice, sends the two boys to Europe to be educated. Years later, a handsome and accomplished Georges returns to the island and falls in love with a beautiful white woman. When her race-conscious family objects to the match, Georges leads a slave uprising, sweeping all who love him into mortal peril. 384p.
