The Beach at Galle Road
by Joanna Luloff
The lives of Sri Lankan natives and American Peace Corps workers intersect during a time of change and crisis in this accomplished collection of interconnected stories—a debut by an immensely talented young writer.

Having lived through the beginning of this 30+ year civil war,and knowing the area well, I’d be interested also. Excellent diving off the reef there.
