A giraya is a familiar object in most Sinhala homes. Fashioned out of brass, steel, silver or gold it comes in a variety of shapes and sizes according to the status of it's owner. Sometimes it comes in a human shape with a woman's face and palms clasped in mute worship. A giraya could be called upon to play a dual role... ...in this story, recorded in a diary, a sensitive young woman is caught like an arecaunt between the blades of giraya. Surrounded by twisted, abnormal characters, in an atmosphere of frustration, passion and thwarted desire, living in a crumbling old walauwe which is hostile to a fast changing society, where she is desperate.
