About this book
During Sri Lanka’s civil war, Sashi is a Tamil girl whose hopes of becoming a doctor are reshaped as violence reaches her family, friends and neighbourhood. Her brothers are pulled toward competing militant commitments, while medical work confronts her with the human consequences of ideology and war. Narrated from adulthood but alive to the uncertainty of youth, the novel refuses easy heroes or simple political answers. It is a tense, deeply researched story of kinship, survival and complicity, grounded in one woman’s difficult choices while giving every surrounding life moral weight.
