Indigo Or Mapping The Waters Reviews

"A complex, glittering book" * The Times *
"An extraordinary imaginative achievement" * Times Literary Supplement *
"Indigo explores the nature of power, the human cost of Empire and the theme of dislocation... Vivid, gripping, intelligent" * Independent on Sunday *
"Her prose has never been so lyrical, as she yokes Shakespearean references, colonial history and her own sensual experience of the Caribbean with a powerful feminine myth-making" * Independent *
