Monsoon dream : [an unusual journey from east to west, tracking down the last home]

NYC BEST SELLER REVIEW

Monsoon Dream is the true story of Anushka young woman in Sri Lanka who, after being disowned by her family and encouraged to kill herself, leaves her native country in serach of new home and new way of life in England.

Exact in her depictions, elegiac through simple language, she tells a bold story with the subtle directness of Hemingway and the feminine force of Maya Angelou.

This is a book that belongs in every multicultural literature course in the country... and it will be no surprise to see it there.
