Brotherless Night: A Novel | V. V. Ganeshananthan

Pickpick

Had this on the pile since it won the Women‘s Prize last year. One of those where the hype just put me off at the time. Well, that serves me right doesn‘t it!
I loved it. So sad, so real and a vivid reminder of the impact these ongoing conflicts bring to day to day lives.

Moon here refers to days, the protagonist has seven days to basically complete some remaining affairs before he can enter THE LIGHT!!!

Magic isn‘t evil or good, or black or white. It is like the universe. Powerful and Supremely indifferent.

Starting Chapter 2, the first one was very interesting, looking forward to the next one!!!

Only 50 pages in, this book paints a very grim picture of the 1980‘s SRI LANKA. The political turmoil, civil war mixed with greed, corruption, hatred. I knew this would be dark but I didn‘t expect ot to be so graphic. The author so far has done a fabulous job of describing the violence in those times!!!
