(Winner of Gratiaen Award and State Literary Award) The book is about the fall of Kandy. Such a tale cannot be narrated onn its own merits. There is so much more tht is connected to more than two thousand years of history, which has to be explained for the reader to understand the complexities that prevailed. Hence, the book meanders back and forth between history, folklore and fiction and returns to the beginning of the nineteenth century, to detail the sad story of the loss of a nation and its people.
