Ashok Ferrey's collection blends previously published short fiction with four brand new stories, showcasing the author's sharp wit, humor, and keen eye for Sri Lankan life in all its complexity. From the title story capturing a fleeting romance amid the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, to a comic tale exploring the unexpected joys and indignities of aging, each piece displays inventive storytelling and emotional depth. The collection includes "Maleeshya," where Ferrey himself appears as an awkwardly resurrected dead author, bringing both absurdity and insight to this varied and entertaining anthology.
