Brotherless night : a novel

Ganeshananthan, V. V. (author).

Summary: Jaffna, 1981. Sixteen-year-old Sashi wants to become a doctor. But over the next decade, as a vicious civil war subsumes Sri Lanka, her dream takes a different path as she watches those around her, including her four beloved brothers, get swept up in violent political ideologies and their consequences. Set during the early years of Sri Lanka's thirty-year civil war, and based on sixteen years of research, this novel is a heartrending portrait of one woman's moral journey and a testament to both the enduring impact of war and the bonds of home.
