A Sinhala novel by Thushari Abeysekare, an experienced novelist, set against the social changes along Sri Lanka's southern coast. Its subject is the erosion of coastal culture that followed the arrival of foreigners, and what that has meant for the children born of those encounters.
Abeysekare writes about the spread of mixed-parentage children in the coastal belt and the mental toll they face in certain social settings, and about the fate of children of the seaboard who are subjected to sexual abuse and to violence within the home. The book was written to do justice to those subjects.
The text is entirely in Sinhala, with no English translation or parallel text, so it will suit readers who read the language comfortably. It is published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, a long-established Colombo publishing house.
