520 $aSaraswathie is living in the active war zone of Sri Lanka, and hopes to become a teacher, but her dreams for the future are abruptly stamped out when she is arrested by a group of Sinhala soldiers and pulled into the very heart of the conflict that she has tried so hard to avoid. As a child in idyllic Colombo, Yasodhara's and her siblings' lives are shaped by social hierarchies, their parents' ambitions, teenage love and, subtly, the differences between Tamil and Sinhala people. When the war shatters their peace, Yasodhara's family escapes to Los Angeles. But the lives of Yasodhara and Saraswathie are already intertwined.
520 $a"Follows the fate of two families, one Tamil, one Sinhala as they straddle opposite sides of the long and brutal Sri Lankan civil war. Narrated by the eldest daughter of each family, the story explores how each woman negotiates war, migration, love, exile, and belonging. At its root, it's a story of a fragmented nation struggling to find its way to a new beginning"--$cGoodreads website, viewed July 25, 2017.$uhttp://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19286587-island-of-a-thousand-mirrors
