Beautifully written book on a difficult subject! While it was sometimes hard to follow the history of Sri Lanka and the warring factions the author helped you overcome those problems by focusing on one individual’s story. Deeply moving, harrowing but the promise of love and compassion never really seemed out of reach. Would highly recommend. Deals with sensitive issues well.
