Description
In the wake of Sri Lanka's devastating civil war, a young man named Krishan embarks on a journey north, seeking to understand the profound loss that has shaped his life and the lives of those around him. This novel is a powerful meditation on absence, longing, and the enduring legacy of conflict, as Krishan travels from Colombo to the war-torn north. Through meticulous attention and a poetic sensibility, the narrative grapples with the complexities of living in the aftermath of trauma, exploring the unattainable distances between who we are and what we seek. It is an unsparing account of an island's past and the imprints left by a thirty-year war.
