The book received positive coverage for its depiction of the sectarian conflict between the Sri Lankan state and the Sri Lankan Tamils.[2] The book was nominated for the Samuel Johnson Prize and the Royal Society of Literature's Ondaatje Prize.[3][4][5][6] Writing in The Guardian, William Dalrymple, called it a remarkable and moving portrayal of the agonies of the conflict that "will stand as a fine literary monument against the government’s attempt at imposed forgetfulness".[1]
