Mauritia — The People of the Water
English subtitle: The People of the Water
Independently published
Before the ocean reclaimed Mauritia, its inhabitants lived standing.
In 2050, a scientific mission surveys the underwater ridges of what geologists now call Mauritia — a lost microcontinent between Madagascar and India. But traces emerge that no plate tectonics can explain. Between deep time and the present, this novel follows a civilisation of water and memory, and asks what remains of a people once the sea decides.
