Sanjay de Silva escapes his controlling father's household in Colombo to claim his birthright in 1980s London, seeking freedom he has long desired yet cannot fully embrace. When his father's terminal illness forces a reckoning, this half-English son must navigate the strange terrain of south London and confront what independence truly means. Ashok Ferrey's debut novel captures a man caught between two worlds, grappling with identity, family duty, and the elusive promise of a life he can finally call his own.
