This book tells the story of a person who was born in India under the British rule & grew up in independent India. The story covers the circumstances which forced poverty on him when he was fourteen & still he managed to secure a first division in matriculation. After passing out from his college, he followed the British to their country for four years for further studies. When the Indian youth was queuing to go west for better opportunities, he after having failed to improve his academic or financial status to the level he had desired swam against the current to his mother land, never to look back. The story continues to tell how back in India his contemporaries assisted / resisted him in his prolonged struggle to succeed & how he unwillingly laid down his tools to settle just behind the place of his wok. Apart from his inclinations towards the British, the story dwells on his views, on the futility of Indian partition on the basis of religion, on his aversion to Indian governance/ politics & on his philosophical musings. It also gives an interesting account of the wayside anecdotes during his journey thus far.

In the tradition of In the Time of the Butterflies and The Kite Runner, a tender, evocative novel about the years leading up to the Sri Lankan civil war * A Library Journal Best Indie Fiction of 2013 * A Largehearted Boy Best Book of the Year * On the day the Herath family moves in, Sal Mal Lane is still a quiet street, disturbed only by the cries of the children whose triumphs and tragedies sustain the families that live there. As the neighbors adapt to the newcomers in different ways, the children fill their days with cricket matches, romantic crushes, and small rivalries. But the tremors of civil war are mounting, and the conflict threatens to engulf them all. In a heartrending novel poised between the past and the future, the innocence of the children—a beloved sister and her overprotective siblings, a rejected son and his twin sisters, two very different brothers—contrasts sharply with the petty prejudices of the adults charged with their care. In Ru Freeman's masterful hands, On Sal Mal Lane, a story of what was lost to a country and her people, becomes a resounding cry for reconciliation.

From the first sentence to the last paragraph the authors captured my curiosity as I journeyed through the thought-provoking story of an innocent young woman navigating a world full of deception. Her pure intent was to live her life through “The Great Creator’s Love and plan for her”. Reality was not so kind as the Twists, turns, and elusive truth she sought to find unfolds. At the most devastating time she would have to choose. “I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you. Father forgive, they know not what they do.” Setting down the burden of shame she steps forward to honor “The Great Creator” courageous plan for her. What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? This story may dispel lingering indoctrinations, and perceptions. Beliefs that no longer serve you as an older wiser Being. Where you too may choose to live from a place of LOVE. -Sylvia - C.I.D.E.S.C.O.
