A strikingly original interpretation of the historical and imaginative landscape of Shakespeare’s The Tempest.

Inspired by The Tempest, Indigo traces the scars of colonialism across continents, family blood-lines and three centuries. Rich, sensual and magical in its use of myths and fairytales Indigo explores the intertwined histories of the Everard family and the imaginary Caribbean island where Ariel, Caliban, and his mother, the healer and dyer of indigo, Sycorax once lived.

Praise for Indigo Or Mapping The Waters

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
