A fictionalized account of a civilian woman during the Sri Lankan civil war. Told in a painfully factual way. Not an enjoyable read, but an important and deeply feminist one.

An excellent work of historical fiction. Wow. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to watch a character grow up and struggle to do what's right in a world shaped by factors far out of her control. Incredibly compelling.
