Summary

Andrea N. Lee: The Red House on the Island

The Red House on the Islandbrings us the unusual story of the heroine Shej, an African-American professor married to the Italian businessman Sena, who decides to build a luxurious villa on the island of Naratrana, a small fictitious area near the large island of Madagascar, which she calls the Red House and whose mistress she names Shej. Although the Red House is only a holiday villa year after year, Šej engages in relations with the local people and their culture, and with new knowledge about the life of an exploited people, he begins to consciously ask what his role is in the widespread poverty and unhappiness experienced by the real inhabitants of the island. Each new chapter reveals the fate of a new hero, while at the same time we follow Shej, who has been visiting Naratrani with her family for twenty years. As time passes, her children grow up, her marriage collapses under the burden of essential incompatibility, and her relationships with the locals, especially with the head housekeeper Velika Bertin, deepen and reveal a network of strong and unbreakable bonds. Andrea Lee introduces us to the space where cultures, races and classes intertwine and re-examines post-colonial themes and the idealization of a tropical paradise.
