A Sinhala-language title by P. Ruwan Nandana Peries, published by Godage International Publishers. The entire text is in Sinhala — there is no English translation within the book — so it will suit readers who are comfortable reading Sinhala prose, and buyers abroad should order it on that basis.
The name in the title points to Nuwarakalaviya, the old regional name for the country around Anuradhapura in the North Central dry zone, long associated with tank-fed cultivation, village settlement and the Rajarata heartland. Readers with an interest in that part of Sri Lanka, or in writing that takes its bearings from it, are the natural audience here.
Godage International Publishers is a long-established Colombo house issuing work in Sinhala and English across fiction, poetry, history and reference, and much of its Sinhala list circulates mainly within Sri Lanka. For readers outside the country, and for Sri Lankan families abroad keeping a Sinhala-reading household supplied, titles like this one are often difficult to come by locally.
A useful addition to a Sinhala home library, and to collections of writing connected with the North Central Province.
