About

In the summer of 2009, the leader of the dreaded Tamil Tiger Guerrillas was killed, bringing to a bloody end the stubborn and complicated civil war in Sri Lanka. For nearly thirty years, the war's fingers had reached everywhere, leaving few places, and fewer people, untouched.

What happens to the texture of life in a country that endures such bitter conflict? What happens to the country's soul? Through travels and conversations, Samanth Subramanian draws out the story of Sri Lanka today--an exhausted, disturbed society, still hot from the embers of the war.
