Rozdarta, szarpana wojna domowa Sri Lanka. Młoda lekarka Anil, wykształcona w Europie i Ameryce specjalistka w dziedzinie medycyny sadowej, przyjeżdża do kraju swego urodzenia jako ekspert do badania zbrodni wojennych skierowana przez międzynarodową organizacje broniąca praw człowieka.

Terror, skrytobójcze mordy, powszechny strach są w Sri Lance na porządku dziennym. Ludzie jednak muszą żyć, pracować, być użytecznymi dla innych. Wspominają, kochają, snują marzenia.

Dawno zapomniany świat, odmienna mentalność ludzi Wschodu sprawiają, ze buntowniczej Anil trudno zaakceptować ich postępowanie. Powrót do korzeni utrudnia jej dodatkowo chłodny, racjonalny umysł naukowca. W tym kraju nic nie jest proste, jednoznaczne, do końca zrozumiale...

3.0 Anil's Ghost
Hmmph, I am not sure about this book. The actual "mystery" part could have been handled in 100 pages or less. However, there was a lot of "back-storying" going on. Much of the back story didn't really add to the book and what was up with all the italic sections? The compelling part of the book, t...

4.0 Anil's Ghost
The book really took me with it on a journey. I'm glad I read it slowly and without the distraction of any other books. The subject is war and very painful but painted through the detail of characters that go straight to the heart which is how it is bearable to read, yet unbearable at the same time ...

Interesting in many respects: the prose is easy yet lovely, the topic (forensic medicine with a human rights angle), and the treatment of shifting in dimensions.But somehow I didn't really like Anil's character. She didn't seem quite real, a trite stereotype of the many do-gooders. Somehow her motiv...

5.0 Anil's Ghost
This is a book that will captivate you, by its ability to transport you to a time and place that you've probably never visited, or read about before. Anil herself is a complex character that evokes far more than what is revealed. The plot here is one that is both fascinating, and out of the ordinary...
