The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida

This Booker prize winner of 2022 delves into the history of Sri Lanka. The photographer Maali is already dead, but he has seven moons of wandering around before he leaves the world. The book actually throws light on the different groups in Sri Lanka, ethnic conflicts and civil war. It is interesting but by the time I reached the fifth moon, it seemed repetitive, with headless bodies constantly moving around. Anyway an innovative approach. Would recommend it to anyone interested in Sri Lanka.
