SJ Sindu is one of my favorite queer South Asian authors - the beautiful way she addresses storytelling and family relations. What struck me most about this book is the way the start and end are mirror reflections of each other, this book doesn't shy away from the complicated history of Tamil resistance in Sri Lanka, but it sees the people as everyday people navigating complicated relationships. As a reader, I am left emotionally gutted but whole, like water folding in on itself.
