"The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida" by Shehan is a fictional story with real facts on srilankan civil war. Maali Almeida—war photographer, gambler, and closet queen—has woken up dead in what seems like a celestial visa office. His dismembered body is sinking in the serene Beira Lake and he has no idea who killed him. In a country where scores are settled by death squads, suicide bombers, and hired goons, the list of suspects is depressingly long, as the ghouls and ghosts with grudges who cluster round can attest. But even in the afterlife, time is running out for Maali. He has seven moons to contact the man and woman he loves most and lead them to the photos that will rock Sri Lanka.
Bottom line :
No one can tell this book is fictional one. Because all the facts about the war, traditions, LTE, activists and everything. This book contains lot of jargons, please keep dictionary with you while reading.
Recommended audience :
This who love srilankan political genre.
