Saltwater Memory
by Brinda Phokeerdass

When a faded letter arrives from a place Claire has spent decades trying to forget, it pulls her from the grey quiet of London back to the searing light of Mauritius — and to the haunted estate of L'Envers, where time seeps through the walls like humidity.

But the past is not buried. It waits.

As the sea reawakens old memories and ghostly melodies echo through empty rooms, Claire begins to unravel a history of forbidden love, betrayal, and a child who drowned — or was drowned. With the help of Daniel, a historian chasing colonial whispers, she confronts the truth of who she really is, and what was taken from her.

Lush, lyrical, and deeply haunting, Saltwater Memory is a gothic novel of loss, legacy, and the salt-stained ghosts we carry.
