A Sinhala-language novel by Sewwandi Nimanthika Jayawardhana, published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will suit readers who are comfortable reading the language.
The story follows Dinithi, who loses both parents when she is very young and grows up in the care of an aunt and uncle, where she meets with harsh treatment and little attention. School becomes the one source of comfort in a life otherwise marked by loneliness and isolation — a place for lessons, but also for friendship. Into that life come Sandaru and Hasindu, and the novel turns on the love that swings between several hearts, the sacrifices it demands, and Dinithi's refusal to be broken by the difficulties she faces.
It is a work of contemporary Sinhala popular fiction, written in the register of emotionally charged romance that has a long readership in Sri Lanka. Readers abroad who keep up with Sinhala novels, and families wanting Sinhala reading material for older children and young adults at home, are the most likely audience.
