real !!!!!

1. What Lies Between Us a Sri Lankan woman leaves her home country but never lets it leave her; focuses on toxic familial & cultural traditions, childhood trauma, and the loneliness that comes with being part of a diaspora.
2. The Rice Mother follows 4 generations of women, whose matriarch is a Ceylonese woman who moves to Malaysia after marriage
3. She Drives Me Crazy sapphic HS romcom :D not a masterpiece and the rep isn't anything groundbreaking but it's a cute, easy read and features an Indian lesbian !
4. Song of the Sun God centers on the Sri Lankan Civil War, and its long-term effects on multiple generations of Tamils forced to leave due to the violence and turmoil.
5. Wave a beautiful memoir about grief, written by a Sri Lankan woman who lost her entire family to the 2004 tsunami

for all of these except 3. i'd recommend checking TWs first as they deal with a lot of heavy topics such as SA & child marriage, especially The Rice Mother
