Thankfully, it only took me a few days to finally begin reading it. A few pages in, and I was surrounded by children playing "bride-bride". Of course, this was all in my head because of the incredible imagery that was included in every page of this book. At first I thought the chapters were long, but in reality, I read through them so quickly because I was intrigued with every sentence. I could see so much of myself in little Arjie. I would cheer him on, tell him not to do this or that. My heart felt for him and every emotion he felt. Very few books have done this for me. I'm grateful that I came across this book. Well written and a quick read that left me asking for more! Well done! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Great book, and a quick read, but... *by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2017* This is a great little book that was recommended to me by Amazon based on similar purchases. It's a fairly quick read that I was able to finish during a layover at the airport. The book starts off with the main character, Arjie, playing "bride-bride" with his cousins at his grandparents' house. The author does a really good job of expressing the innocent thoughts of a child trying to discover his identity in the midst of a civil war. Didnt know much about Sri Lanka before picking up this book, but I was surprised to find so many aspects of Arjie's family life relatable to my own childhood as an Indian immigrant. My only complaint about this book is that many chapters feature a love story with a satisfying (albeit tragic) ending, up until the ending. Wished there was at least the same amount of sentimentality put into that final chapter as there was in the first and second. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautifully crafted, highly original *by C***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2016* A beautifully crafted, highly original novel which tells an moving story of waking to love and secuality in a world of conservative values. What is so dazzling is the authors ability to combiine in this novel a highly sensitive understanding of psychology with an impressive overview of Sri Lanka's society and its recent, violent history. He never loses the personal touch but never is judgmental. He writes with warmth, understanding, precision and sensitivity. A brilliant work blending high quality literary ability with an understanding of people and of history.
