A Sinhala-language young adult novel by Nadeesh Dikkumbura, published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The entire text is in Sinhala, so a reading knowledge of the language is needed.
Dikkumbura opens with a question: what would happen if people became trees and trees became people? That reversal is the strange event at the centre of the story, and the book follows where it leads. What it finally puts to the reader is how human beings ought to love the natural world, and how much.
It is written for young readers with an interest in nature, and is the kind of book bought as a gift for that sort of reader. For buyers outside Sri Lanka, it is a chance to read contemporary Sinhala fiction written for a teenage audience at home, rather than a translated or adapted edition.
