Where the Dodo Dreamed: An Anthology of Lost and Found

Blurb

Journey to the lush, volcanic heart of Mauritius, an island paradise that became an ark of unique life—and a stage for profound loss. In this stunningly original anthology, the author gives voice to the silent, granting us the world through the senses of the creatures who lived it: a dodo's final journey to save his family, a swiftlet's desperate flight through a cyclone, the determined crawl of a giant tortoise through a landscape of fire, and the hopeful song of a pink pigeon who becomes an unlikely mother. Where the Dodo Dreamed is more than a collection of stories; it is an elegy written in moonlight and moss, a fierce celebration of life's resilience, and a powerful reminder that every vanished species takes with it a cosmos of experience, love, and memory. It is a testament to what was, what remains, and what might yet be saved.
