Island of a Thousand Mirrors by Nayomi Munaweera paints a hauntingly vivid picture of the 25 year long Sri Lankan civil war that claimed over 80,000 lives. Told through the eyes of two young girls caught on opposite sides of the conflict, the book creates a personal story of war, destruction, and loss. This book will haunt me for a long time to come.
