A youth novel in Sinhala by Nipuni Chandrasoma, built around the Easter Sunday bomb attacks. The whole book is in Sinhala — there is no English text in it — so it will suit readers who are comfortable reading Sinhala prose, or households keeping a Sinhala-language shelf abroad.
Fiction written for younger readers about an event still within living memory sits in a particular place in Sri Lankan publishing: close enough to the news that the subject needs no introduction at home, and handled in a register meant for people who were children when it happened.
The publisher, M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, is a long-established Colombo house issuing titles in Sinhala and English, with a substantial list of school and general reading.
Worth considering for readers following contemporary Sinhala fiction, for parents and teachers looking for recent writing aimed at teenagers, and for Sri Lankan families overseas who want their children reading in Sinhala about events from home.
