A family epic set against the backdrop of the Sri Lankan civil war comes to poignant and powerful life in the lyrical and riveting debut novel Island of a Thousand Mirrors by writer and artist Nayomi Munaweera. Munaweera tells the story through the eyes of both Sinhala and Tamil women, with tales of suicide bombers, brutality, and civil war interspersed with those of love, longing and loss.

Her novel received a glowing review from Mother Jones and was just long-listed for the 2012 Man Asian Literary Prize. Almost four BILLION people in Asia and a mere 15 books representing them – congratulations on your incredible achievement, Nayomi!
