The Sweet and Simple Kind is an engrossing and dramatic family saga set against the backdrop of Ceylon's turbulent evolution into Sri Lanka. Resonant in its social insights and beautifully written, The Sweet and Simple Kind offers a richly imagined world of love, political chicanery and family turmoil in the newly independent Sri Lanka of the 1950s and 60s.

The Sweet and Simple Kind enchants us with its combination of authenticity, humour and passion.
