Where the Ebony Grows

Where the Ebony GrowsA botanist restoring Mauritius's endangered forests unearths a sixty-year-old box of charcoal sketches hidden in an ebony tree—landscapes, portraits, and one unfinished sunset, all signed J.M. Teaming with the carpenter's grandson to finish the blind artist's final work, she uncovers not only a forgotten love story but the secret that binds their families together: a promise made on a beach in 1953, a promise broken, a promise that has been waiting sixty years for someone to continue it.Where the Ebony Grows is a luminous novel about inheritance and fidelity, the patience of seeds and the persistence of love—and what it means to finish what someone else started.
