Piments zoizos: Les enfants oubliés de la Réunion | 
It was sweltering yesterday (and the days before) but today is decidedly autumnal. Time to get our last gâteau creusois out! It's a hazelnut cake that's perfect for the weather. I am still on my #Creuse deep-dive.

Piments zoizos (bird's eye chilies in Reunion Island Creole) tells the story of a Reunion Island boy sent to a children's home in mainland France in the 60s, like many other children/teens from deprived families, orphans and/or children deemed “at risk“. And also teenagers found to have intellectual potential, with the - typically unfulfilled - promise of schooling. The story is interspersed with infodumps in the style of newspaper articles.
