A Sinhala novel by Thushari Abeysekare, published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The entire text is in Sinhala, so a reader will need the language to follow it — there is no English in the book.
The story is set in the past, in a period reaching back as far as 1910. Abeysekare writes away from the present day and into that earlier world, and the novel stays there: a piece of fiction built around a time well before the one her readers live in. The publisher presents it as a chance to step out of the noise of contemporary life and spend a while in that older setting.
For Sinhala readers abroad who keep up with fiction published at home, this is a straightforward novel of the past from an established Colombo house. Readers who enjoy period storytelling in Sinhala — village and household life as it was lived generations ago — are the natural audience.
