Happily, after a series of disasppointing reads, I've settled on this novel. True, I'm only on p18, but I've been captivated from the start. Long may it continue.
The novels follows the life of Anil Tissera, a native Sri Lankan who left to study in the United States on a scholarship, during which time she has become a forensic anthropologist. She returns to Sri Lanka in the midst of its civil war as part of a Human Rights Investigation by the United Nations. Anil, along with archaeologist Sarath Diyasena, discovers the skeleton of a recently burned victim in a government area. With the help of Sarath, Anil sets out to identify the skeleton, nicknamed Sailor, and bring about justice for the nameless victims of the war.
