Μια ταλαιπωρημένη μάνα βρίσκει σκοπό στην ζωή της μέσα από την επαναστατική δράση του γιού της. Ένα βιβλίο για το σοσιαλιστικό όνειρο και αγώνα. Το γεγονός ότι είναι από την σκοπιά της ανήξερης αρχικά μάνας πετυχαίνει την αποτελεσματική σύνδεση των ιδεών με αναγνώστες που δεν έχουν ξαναέρθει σε επαφή με τον σοσιαλισμό και τον κομμουνισμό. Έχει δράση και συγκίνηση. Κάνει πολλούς παραλληλισμούς με τον χριστιανισμό. Δείχνει την βάναυση καταστολή κατά των πρωτοπόρων αλλά πάντα με έναν αέρα αισιοδοξίας και ηθικής ανωτερότητας.

This book is recognized as a must-read in Sri Lankan culture, although I don't see the same worldwide recognition in the international book world. So, I tried to give it a go when I was in grade 9. But it didn't fit my taste back then. But I still remember the vague memory of how it felt: the gloomy environment, the pressured citizens, and the afraid households. But I definitely should give it a re-read again.

I would’ve given it 5 stars if it were shorter. It was way too long.
The author goes on to explain every single detail in every scene. too much.

Este livro trouxe-me à memória a minha avó.
