A story of age and youth, loss and survival that builds into a magisterial reckoning with mortality from a prize-winning Sri Lankan Tamil author.

The writimgmstyle of this author spoke to me as a reflection of how my mind operates. Conversational, flow of consciousness, the writing kept me engaged from start to finish.
Arudpragasam writes in inordinately long sentences but he is wonderful at painting images with words and I enjoyed learning more about Sri Lanka and the civil war. ⭐️ 3.5/5
