A Passage North by Anuk Arudpragasam

5.0

I am so happy to have discovered this author. I love the storytelling, the long flowing sentences against the rich background of the struggle during conflicts in Sri Lanka and his own struggle to do the right thing. But he's dealing with a personal loss too (because of the death of a loved one and the loss of a lover), and his descriptions, which blend in ancient stories and lore, take you across a landscape that is at once beautiful and sad. I would highly recommend this book and this author.
