The House That Faced the Cyclone
When Noa travels from London to his mother's childhood home in Mauritius, he expects sun, sea, and a quiet holiday. Instead, he finds a house with salt in its walls, a locked room no one will explain, and a silence where a name should be. As a cyclone builds off the coast, Noa uncovers cassette tapes, hidden photographs, and a family secret that has been erased for twenty years. His aunt Asha-rebellious, beloved, and vanished-left behind only her voice on crackling recordings. To piece together the truth, Noa must navigate the languages of his fractured family: English for politeness, Kreol for anger, French for memory, and Bhojpuri for wounds too deep to speak. A sweeping story of love, shame, and the storms we carry inside, The House That Faced the Cyclone is about what survives when everything else is swept away.
Brinda is a writer with a deep fascination for the mysteries of the natural world, the unexplored realms of science, and the untold stories hidden beneath the surface. With a background in engineering and pedagogy, she spent years studying the intersection of science and the human spirit. This passion is reflected in her work, which often explores themes of discovery, the unknown, and humanity's relationship with the natural world.
When not writing, Brinda can often be found sitting by the sea contemplating the beauty of Mauritian relief, always searching for new inspiration to fuel the next adventure.
The Silent Guardians is her third novel, blending the scientific with the soulful, and taking readers on an unforgettable journey into the depths of both the ocean and the human heart.
