Book Group on Sal Mal Lane led by the author, Ru Freeman

On Sal Mal Lane is a heartrending novel set in Sri Lanka in the years leading up to the Civil War. The story is of the innocence of children and their support of each other, which contrasts sharply with the petty prejudices of the adults charged with their care. In Ru Freeman's masterful hands, a story of what was lost to a country and her people becomes a resounding cry for reconciliation.
