Island of a Thousand Mirrors by Nayomi Munaweera

Narrated in two unforgettably authentic voices and spanning the entirety of the decades-long civil war, it offers an unparalleled portrait of a beautiful land during its most difficult moment by a spellbinding new literary talent who promises tremendous things to come. Nayomi Munaweera’s Island of a Thousand Mirrors is an emotionally resonant saga of cultural heritage, heartbreaking conflict and deep family bonds. But her dreams for the future are abruptly stamped out when she is arrested by a group of Sinhala soldiers and pulled into the very heart of the conflict that she has tried so hard to avoid – a conflict that, eventually, will connect her and Yasodhara in unexpected ways. But Yasodhara’s life has already become intertwined with a young Tamil girl’s… Saraswathie is living in the active war zone of Sri Lanka, and hopes to become a teacher. Yasodhara’s family escapes to Los Angeles. As a child in idyllic Colombo, Yasodhara’s and her siblings’ lives are shaped by social hierarchies, their parents’ ambitions, teenage love and, subtly, the differences between Tamil and Sinhala people but the peace is shattered by the tragedies of war. Yasodhara tells the story of her own Sinhala family, rich in love, with everything they could ask for.
