In the remote forests of Mauritius, young Raj is almost oblivious of the
Second World War raging beyond his tiny exotic island. With only his mother
for company while his father works as a prison guard, solitary ever since his
brothers died years ago, Raj thinks only of making friends.
One day, the far-away world comes to Mauritius, and Raj meets David, a Jew
exiled from his home in Europe and imprisoned in the camp where Raj's father
works. David becomes the friend that he has always longed for, a brother to
replace those he has lost. Raj knows that he must help David to escape. As
they flee through sub-tropical landscapes and devastating storms, the boys
battle hunger and malaria - and forge a friendship only death can destroy.
The Last Brother is a powerful, poetic novel that sheds new light on a little-
explored aspect of 20th-century history.
