Description
The Sri Lankan War left an indelible mark on the country, its people, and its landscape. For nearly thirty years, the conflict raged on, affecting every corner of the island. Samanth Subramanian's account of this period is a harrowing and humane investigation into the human cost of violence and the struggle to reconcile with a troubled past. Through his travels and conversations, Subramanian examines how people cope with the aftermath of war, how religion and state intersect, and how the powerful wield their influence. This Divided Island is a nuanced exploration of a country still grappling with the consequences of its past, and a powerful exploration of the complexities of human experience. The result is a deeply personal and thought-provoking work, one that sheds light on the complexities of a nation still struggling to come to terms with its history.
