"Stolen Sunset" by Manel Ratnatunga is a moving memoir that candidly recounts the author's journey through a life-altering catastrophe, focusing on her husband's debilitating illness within the backdrop of the era's political and emotional context. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part conveying the challenges of coping with the crisis, and the second part offering a delightful glimpse into the author's early life. While the memoir is touching and insightful, it omits the author's middle and mature years, including her literary creativity. Overall, it's a compelling read that underscores the resilience of the human spirit and the significance of compassion in challenging times.
