Well written and sprawling, a philosophical take of love and friendship amidst political strife and turmoil in Sri Lanka.

I did really enjoy this, it was dark, at times harrowing, gave an insight into a lot of mythologies and beliefs that I know little about and gave an interesting insight into 80s Africa, both from the political and queer angles.
