Have you ever wondered what it might have been like if Louisa May Alcott’s coming-of-age novel, Little Women, had unfolded with a father quietly present in its everyday moments?

Set in Sri Lanka and India in the mid-1990s, this book is a reimagining of Little Women and follows Mari, a nineteen-year-old girl who lives with her parents and three sisters in a cottage next to a hotel, Mari’s Nest.

Along the way, she learns that love appears in many forms: in friendship, in family, in the places we return to, and in the stories we tell ourselves and each other.

Warm, reflective, and nostalgic, this is a story about growing up, crossing cultures, and finding meaning in the ordinary moments that stay with us.

Threaded throughout the story is Mari’s special bond with her father, making this a thoughtful and heartfelt Father’s Day gift and a meaningful read for fathers and families alike.

Surrounded by magnificent mountains, the city of Kandy, home of the Temple of the Sacred Tooth and the Royal Palace, was the capital of Lanka for about three hundred years. Gananath Obeysekere paints a vivid portrait of the kings of these great green highlands of Kandy, revealing a complex and advanced society every bit as violent as any other civilisation. Focusing on Kings Vimaladharmasuriya I, Rajasinha II, Sri Vijaya Rajasinha, and Kirti Sri Rajasinha, he brings the Kandyan monarchy to life, depicting them not as mythic figures but as real, flesh-and-blood, larger-than-life characters who ruled over the last citadel of Lankan aristocracy.

If only EMOTIONS and FEELINGS were allowed to be expressed without judgement and condemnation... this world would have been the most beautiful place – despite corruption, injustice, racial violence and sexual assault – for humankind would not have forgotten their beautiful nature and protected their dharma instead.

What if a pen could change the world, the ink could dress up emotions, a word could heal a heart, and a page could voice injustices? May the “Art of Literature” make the world a better place, as God vouchsafed in heaven.

I hope this anthology breathes concealed feelings into life, speaks to your heart, opens eyes long shut, and enlightens forfeited souls through words and verses expressed despite fear, so hearts may open and remember their purpose on earth.
