I really enjoyed this. Full 5 stars from me. But the topics were a LOT heavier than the blurb made it out to be. The cover is also deceptive. I learned about the Tamil people and the civil war in Sri Lanka which I was previously unaware of.

There is a lot of active racism and racially-driven violence through the book, and a lot of detailed recollections of the civil war. My one complaint would be that it took me a bit to grasp the characters because it felt like it was jumping around a little much in the beginning, but that may very well be a me issue. This is one I will likely see about buying a copy of to revisit at a later date.
