Brinda Leckmanee Phokeerdass is a Mauritian writer whose work weaves mystery, history, and folklore into immersive narratives rich with cultural depth. With a deep-rooted love for storytelling and a passion for uncovering the silences of the past, she brings to life haunting tales that explore identity, memory, and ancestral echoes.

Her debut novel, Shadows Over Réduit, blends gothic suspense with the complex legacies of colonialism and slavery in Mauritius. Through layered characters and evocative settings, Brinda invites readers to walk the fine line between myth and reality, and to confront the truths that history has tried to bury.

When she isn't writing, Brinda is often found wandering through old estates, researching historical archives, or listening to the stories of her elders-always searching for the next ghost waiting to speak.

Shadows Over Réduit is her first full-length novel.
