Misitia Ravaloson (misitiaravaloson) | 1 comments I’m excited to share that my debut novel, The Eucalyptus Tree, is now out in the world!

Set between Madagascar and England, this story follows two lives unfolding in parallel: one shaped by poverty and struggle, the other by hope and reinvention. At its heart, it's a story about resilience, identity, and finding your voice.

This book is deeply personal to me. It’s inspired by the place I come from, the things I’ve carried with me, and the longing that comes with living far from home. It also brings a spotlight to Madagascar, a country that is rarely seen in fiction.

The blurb:

"Razaf had a dream: to become a musician. But in the midst of recurring political turmoil in Madagascar, everything collapsed. His dreams, once within reach, were shattered in a heartbeat. What happens when the only thing you know how to do is no longer possible

Five thousand six hundred miles away, Hira dares to dream, too—of becoming a writer. As she navigates love, cultural differences, and the search for her identity, she also carries the weight of a legacy marked by struggle. Can she succeed where others could not?

The Eucalyptus Tree is a poignant tale of resilience, family, and the fight to break free from a cycle of struggles, set in a place rarely explored in fiction. Enriched with Malagasy proverbs and cultural insights, this story offers a unique window into Madagascar, like you’ve never seen it before."

It's available on Amazon! Thank you for your support!
