A young adult novel in Sinhala, written throughout in that language — there is no English text in it, so a reader will need Sinhala to follow the story.
The narrative turns on a father and a son. The father is an exemplary one; the son has fallen into bad company. What the book follows is how the father brings his son to understand that, and leads him back to the right path. It is a domestic story rather than an adventure, and its concerns are the ordinary ones of a household trying to hold a young person steady.
The publisher presents it as a book for readers who are themselves in their teenage years, which is the audience its subject matter is pitched at. Parents and teachers buying for Sinhala-reading teenagers abroad are the likeliest readers after that.
