Her first book Les Rochers de Poudre d'Or (published by Éditions Gallimard) received the "Prix RFO du livre".
Her other works like The Last Brother, detailing struggles during the Nazi attack and migration to Czechoslovakia, and Tropic of Violence, based on children on the streets of Mayotte, are critically acclaimed.
In 2007, she released her fourth book Le Dernier Frère Ed de L'Olivier, which went on to win the Prix FNAC.
"[4] Her novel The Last Brother is based on an orphaned Jew who escaped the Nazi invasion of Czechoslovakia and was denied entry into British-run Palestine.
In a review published in The Guardian about the novel, it has been quoted as "a brilliant and believable account, a compelling picture of a child's loneliness and of the brief, feverish excitement when it ends".
[5] New York Times rated her fourth novel, The Last Brother next only to 2008 Nobel Prize winner J. M. G. Le Clézio among all Mauritian writers.
