A collection of short stories in Sinhala by Daya De Alwis, published by M. D. Gunasena & Co., the house that first issued it. The stories draw on the writer's own experience of life, which gives the collection its particular grounding.
The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will be read comfortably only by those who read the language. International buyers ordering for a Sinhala-reading household, or for a collection of Sri Lankan fiction in the original, should know that before deciding.
Short fiction in Sinhala by women of De Alwis's generation remains of interest to readers following the development of the form on the island, and this collection sits in that company. It suits readers building a library of Sinhala literature, as well as anyone returning to a book they first encountered in Sinhala and wanting a copy of their own.
