Love in the Tsunami

Love in the Tsunami brings together a selection of Ashok Ferrey's short fiction and includes four brand-new stories. The title story set against the Boxing Day tsunami of 2004 describes Veena Patel's all-too-brief encounter with forbidden love. 'But Did I Tell You I Can't Dance?' is a hilarious fable about the occasional humiliations and the many heart-warming victories of old age. And in 'Maleeshya' Ashok himself makes a cameo appearance as a dead author who has embarrassingly come back to life. Endlessly inventive and crackling with energy Love in the Tsunami represents the very best writing in English from contemporary Sri Lanka. About the Author Ashok Ferrey is the author of five works of fiction and Sri Lanka's bestselling author in English
