Book Review:
''Kilali Crossing'' is a powerful and evocative novel by Suryakumaran that brings to life a little-known chapter of Sri Lanka's ethnic conflict. Set during a time of intense warfare, the story follows a group of travellers making the perilous crossing across the Jaffna Lagoon.
The author skillfully captures the conversations, camaraderie, and emotions of the travellers, revealing the hopes, fears, and dreams of people caught up in a conflict not of their making. The novel is both heartbreaking and hopeful, offering a human perspective on a tragic period of history.
This is a must-read for anyone interested in Sri Lankan literature and the human stories behind the headlines of war. It is a poignant and beautifully written tale of despair and desire. Highly recommended!
