What does one do on turning 40? Ritah, the author, decided to publish 40 poems. Simple to follow, the book offers a round trip from childhood to the age of 40. Seychelles is the idyllic paradise for a holiday; Ritah offers a view of not just a holiday destination but her home with all the ups and downs of daily life. Ritah shares a sincere and organic tableau of her life up to her 40th birthday. Through the 40 poems, Ritah colours her childhood with her family, school, growing up, travelling, bright and shaded sides of the islands, soul searching and her wishes.
RITAH
Ritah was born and raised in Seychelles. The mother of two boys, she has gone back to her childhood dream to work with children. A primary school teacher since 2018, Ritah has previously worked as a central banker for eight years. She has also gone back to another childhood passion of writing. So turning 40 has not just been a celebration of what she has accomplished but also the joy and privilege of reviving her childhood dreams. Taking time to pause, Ritah decided to compile her poems, not just for a book but also a moment to go back, soak in all that has been and appreciate the magic in each step. The book is a gift of celebration. By sharing her journey, the author hopes that each person honours his or her own journey.
