I initially started this book on audio but switched over to a physical copy as I was finding it hard to follow. Even in physical format, I felt the book was a little disjointed at times and I got a little bored in the middle, but there were also moments especially towards the end where I really enjoyed the quality of the writing and story. I think I may have enjoyed it more if I knew more about the Sri Lankan war but overall a unique read that I am glad I finished.
