FROM THE WINNER OF THE MILES FRANKLIN LITERARY AWARD
Description
Nala and Rajan, a young couple, begin their married life in 1946, on the eve of Ceylon's independence from Britain. It spans three continents and three generations of a family that remains dedicated to its homeland, whilst learning to embrace its new home. Funny, warm and tender, we see Nala and Rajan's family navigate war, migration, old loyalties and new beginnings, relying on the philosophy of their religion, their ancestors and each other.
