A title by Goolbai Gunasekara, a Sri Lankan writer and educationist who has spent her working life in schools in Colombo and who writes in English for a general readership.
Gunasekara comes from a family long associated with girls' education in Sri Lanka, and she has written for Sri Lankan readers over many years, including in the press. Her name will be familiar to people who follow English-language writing from the island, and particularly to those connected with Colombo schools.
The book is in English and is published in Sri Lanka, which is the usual reason for ordering it from here rather than from a general bookshop abroad: titles of this kind circulate mainly within the local market and are not always easy to find elsewhere.
It will suit readers building a shelf of contemporary Sri Lankan writing in English, Sri Lankans living overseas who want books from home, and anyone already reading Gunasekara who wants to add this one to the others.
