Description
'An extraordinarily powerful, deeply moving novel' Amitav Ghosh NOW A MAJOR FILM ON NETFLIX In the world of his large family - affluent Tamils living in Colombo - Arjie is an oddity, a 'funny boy' who prefers dressing as a girl to playing cricket with his brother. But as Arjie comes to terms with his own homo-sexuality and with the racism of the society in which he lives, Sri Lanka is plunged into civil war as fighting between the army and the Tamil Tigers gradually begins to encroach on the family's comfortable life. Sporadic acts of violence flare into full scale riots and lead, ultimately, to tragedy. Written in clear, simple prose, Shyam Selvadurai's first novel is masterly in its mingling of the personal and political. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY NEEL MUKHERJEE

Awesome
What should I comment about this book? This book is ahead of its time. The entire novel mainly focuses on the Conflict between Sinhalese & Tamils in Sri Lanka. But the stories are much about life, love, pain and suffering than about the conflict. This will make you cry, make you laugh, make you feel sympathetic. If you're thinking of reading this book, you should definitely read it. This is worth buying.
