A Sinhala-language novel for young readers, written by Bandusena Gunasekara and published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation, so it will suit readers who are comfortable reading the language or families keeping it up with children abroad.
Rather than inventing a story to suit teenage tastes, Gunasekara has taken his material from Sri Lanka's own history and retold it as fiction. The result sits in the yovun navakathava tradition — fiction written deliberately for adolescent readers, a category with a long and active life in Sinhala publishing and one that schools and home libraries draw on steadily.
Readers outside Sri Lanka who want Sinhala-medium fiction for a young reader at home, or who are building a collection of contemporary Sinhala writing, will find this a straightforward addition to the shelf.
