Rajith Savanadasa
A country picking up the pieces, a family among the ruins. In the restless streets, crowded waiting rooms and glittering nightclubs of Colombo, five family members find their bonds stretched to breaking point in the aftermath of the Sri Lankan civil war.

'A rich and colourful story of family and country, its complexity revealed in layers ...Only through the eyes of others can we begin to see a place.'
