This is the Sinhala edition of Matt Haig's novel The Midnight Library, translated by Hashan Randika Dias and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena. The entire text is in Sinhala, so a reader will need to be able to read the language.
The story belongs to the fantasy and science fiction end of contemporary fiction. Its central character is Nora Seed, and the novel follows her through the library of the title. Matt Haig is a British writer who has written a number of other novels; The Midnight Library was adapted by BBC radio in Britain as a radio drama.
For Sinhala readers who prefer translated fiction in their own language, and for households abroad keeping a Sinhala-language shelf going for children or grandchildren, this puts a recent English-language novel within reach without the original text. It will also interest anyone following what Sri Lankan publishers are choosing to translate from current international fiction, and how that work reads once it has been carried into Sinhala.
