Title: A wonderful book
Review: Shyam Selvadurai's excellent writing vividly conveys what it's like forArjie to grow up with a different sensibility from others in his SriLankan extended family. Arjie's developing feelings for Shehan areimmediately familiar to gay readers.Many stories about growing up gayhave unreal endings in which everything works out wonderfully.Unfortunately, the background of this storyincludes the unrest, ethnic violence, and terrorism of theconflict between between Tamils and Sinhalese in Sri Lanka, and that conflict is not easily wished away. The story ends in tragedy, andat a significant turning point. I'm left wanting to read more ofArjie's story. What happens next? I can't wait for the next book
