A Sinhala-language novel by Shenoni Karunarathna, 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 fiction in the language.
The story is a fantasy built around a love that carries across two lifetimes, and around the dark forces that press on it. The publisher describes a narrative that works through love, the wish for safety, sorrow and curiosity alongside fear and shock — the feelings of an ordinary mind, set inside an invented world. The premise rests on the idea that each of us lives in an imagined world of our own making, and the novel asks the reader to recognise something of their own life and feeling somewhere in it.
M. D. Gunasena is a long-established Sri Lankan publisher and bookseller, issuing titles in Sinhala and English across fiction, education and general reading. For buyers outside Sri Lanka, this is a contemporary Sinhala popular novel rather than a literary classic or a translated work, and it will be of most interest to readers following current Sinhala fiction, to Sri Lankan families abroad keeping a Sinhala reading habit alive at home, and to anyone collecting fantasy writing from South Asia in its original language.
