Sri Lanka seemed like a version of paradise to Razeen Sally as a child, but conflict was soon to follow, tearing the family apart and severing their bond with Sri Lanka. Return to Sri Lanka is the story of a twenty-first-century reconciliation between Sally, now an academic and political adviser, and the land of his birth.
 
A travel memoir with deep political concerns, Return to Sri Lanka is a book full of spellbinding beauty and moving insight, from a writer who is a native, a tourist, both and neither.
