This moving and
unforgettable novel, ‘Journey to
Jaffna’, is a powerful exploration of the conflicting ties of family and
of the heart. Set in London, Russia and Sri Lanka, this book will find its way
into your own heart.
Param grew up
in a strict Tamil family in Sri Lanka, but broke away from them to study in
London. Even the violence facing Tamils back home could not affect the new life
he built for himself with his English wife, Mary and their daughter. Now
though, it is 1979, his father is dying and it is Param’s duty to make the
journey back to Jaffna.
As Param
learns of the horrors his family and his ex-girlfriend Karthiga have endured,
he faces his own struggle. Does he owe it to them to come back to Sri Lanka, or
should his loyalties now lie with his English family? Or does Liz, the
English/American woman he met on his long, disrupted journey, offer a way out?
