Chiranthi Rajapakse gives us a fine collection of short stories with an unforgettable cast of small city characters who cope with life in a fast changing environment. Insightful and original, these stories offset relentless progress against guilty introspection. Her measured prose is subtle and sober, evocative of the yearnings of a country in flux.

Really great collection of short stories. Subtle and human; some make ya smile and some make ya misty eyed. Kinda reminds me of Chekhov in that way.
Picked this book up in Sri Lanka while on holiday and was very impressed. Have lent it to several friends who've all really enjoyed it.
