Wow- quite a book. It is a very well written description of a young boy discovering his sexuality, and an amazing vview of life of the privileged class in a place that I didn't even know had classes (Sri Lanka) during the 60's and 70's... and a horrifying description of civil war between the Tamils and the Sinhalese. Truly riveting.
