Peace At Last In Paradise

In this volume Guruge returns to present us with a spellbinding sentimental story that displays the full range of human emotions.

A story born of tragic circumstances of the demise of the World Trade Center, encompasses all the strains of race and class that pervaded through the fabric of Sri Lankan society in recent times.

It is transformed in to an engaging story by the author's exceptional wit, sensitivity and sharp social observation.

Author also returns to offer the reader with fascinating verse that brings to life people, events, places and emotions that are vividly presented in the book.

Through out his trilogy, Guruge has demonstrated the value of recording recent history that is mostly oral or confined to individual experiences.

In volume three, he has set out, meticulously, and in great detail, the history of the period 1915 to 2009.

The more recent part of history, is largely based on his own exceptional knowledge and experience, and recorded as only a true historian -- an accolade he richly deserves, can document.

What is fascinating is that he narrates Sri Lankan history within a compelling story of a multiethnic Sri Lankan family.
