A Sinhala novel by Thushari Abeysekare, published in Colombo by M. D. Gunasena & Co. The whole book is in Sinhala — text, chapter headings and all — so it will suit readers who are comfortable reading the language, or households keeping a Sinhala shelf going abroad.
Its subject is love in the broad sense: affection, kindness and compassion as bonds that run across the divisions people are sorted into. The publisher describes a book built around the idea that love recognises no boundary of race, caste or religion, and none of wealth, poverty or standing — a feeling that extends from the smallest creature to the person of means and education. Abeysekare works that thread through the novel in plain, unhurried prose rather than argument.
Readers who follow contemporary Sinhala fiction will know Abeysekare as an established writer. For buyers outside Sri Lanka, this is the kind of title that circulates widely at home but rarely turns up in bookshops elsewhere, and it is worth ordering direct if Sinhala novels of this sort are what you read.
