Through My Mother's Eyes
by Brinda Phokeerdass In the sun-soaked village of Mahebourg in 1990s Mauritius, life beats to the rhythm of sega drums, the hiss of charcoal stoves, and the soft lull of bedtime stories in Creole. Through My Mother's Eyes is a tender, evocative memoir of a mother's unbreakable spirit as she raises her children in a world balancing tradition and change. Told in vivid, lyrical detail, this is a story of frugality turned into feast, of parenting guided by both discipline and boundless love, and of a household that may lack luxury but overflows with resilience, hope, and quiet joy. Whether she's stretching a single chicken into a week of meals or helping her children sound out English words she barely understands herself, Aneeta shows us what true strength looks like-soft-spoken, tireless, and fiercely devoted. A deeply Mauritian story with universal heart, this is an unforgettable journey into the soul of a mother, the rhythm of a family, and the legacy of love passed from one generation to the next.
