Life starts off to unravel for Penelope when her man, Rupert, drags their family to the remote Seychelles islands for an exotic diplomatic job in 1960. While Penelope pines for London, Rupert and their two daughters show up deeply in love with this tropical heaven. The kids run barefoot on the beach and be enraptured by the traditional magic, or grigri, that pervades this lush colonial outpost. Rupert, on the other hand, succumbs to the island's other lures when a Seychelloise beauty packages her sights-and casts her spells-on him. But Penelope and her little princess Zara won't go down without a deal with. In a anxious attempt to contain the family together, both convert secretly to the neighborhood witchcraft with disastrous results. Inevitably, Penelope and her family put up with unimaginable consequences that change their lives permanently. Benedict's acerbic wit and evocative information serve up a page-turner brimming with jealousy, making love, and intrigue in this ominous Eden.
