This is a Tamil-language book. The text throughout is in Tamil script, so it will suit readers who are comfortable in the language; anyone hoping for English or Sinhala should know that before ordering.
The author is Narayanan Mallikadevi. The publisher is Godage International Publishers, a long-established Colombo house that issues work in Sinhala, Tamil and English, and whose list covers fiction, poetry, criticism, education and general non-fiction from Sri Lankan writers. Titles like this one come from the Tamil side of that programme.
Books published in Tamil in Sri Lanka rarely travel far beyond the island's own bookshops, which is the main reason to order a copy rather than wait to find one. It will be of most interest to Tamil readers abroad, to families keeping a home library in the language, and to university and community collections building holdings of Sri Lankan Tamil writing.
If you read Tamil and follow what is being published in Sri Lanka, this is a straightforward addition to the shelf from a publisher whose imprint is familiar across the country.
