This vivid and haunting short-story collection creates a masterful portrait of contemporary Sri Lanka. A married couple, living in London, find their marriage strained by the fighting in their far-off homeland. An ordinary shopkeeper is burnt alive by terrorists, leaving his neighbour’s life in turmoil. Between exile and loss, Gunesekera’s characters struggle for the elusive and divided place that they call home.
