Synopsis:

A powerful three-generational saga of a Sri Lankan family's search for coherence and continuity in a country broken by colonial occupation and riven by ethnic wars

About the Author: A. (AMBALAVANER) SIVANANDAN was born in 1923 and came to Britain from Sri Lanka in the wake of the race riots of 1958 - and walked straight into the riots of Notting Hill.

His novel When Memory Dies (1997) was winner of the 1998 Commonwealth Writers' Prize in the Best First Book category.
