Book Reviews of Anil's Ghost: A Novel

Book Review: "Someone nudges a stone away, and there's a story."
Summary: 4 Stars

Anil was a former Sri Lankan who left the island at 18 and never looked back. She worked in England and the U.S., and eventually found her way back to her homeland, but only as part of the human rights team.

Anil and Sarath find a body of a man they call Sailor. This book is an exploration of how they go about figurign out what happened to this man, who he was, and what the government will do about their discovery. Along the way, Anil and Sarath discover a great deal of each other's pains and pleasures in their island home.

Anil's Ghost is lyrically written and tells a haunting story. Contained within the pages is a great deal of information on Sri Lanka, and the civil war in the nation. Haunting, and well recommended.
