seneka abeyratne
Asmita
Electrifying thriller set on the island of Sri Lanka, by a noted Sri Lankan author. ‘Asmita’ takes you from the genteel world of Colombo society to the seamy side of town: Asmita herself, the heroine, is expensive, well-educated – and for sale.
A fast-paced narrative which relates the life of a beautiful, highly intelligent, freelance prostitute from Colombo 7, ASMITA is a timely criticism of a cross section of Sri Lankan society. The language of ASMITA is very much like the protagonist herself: powerful and sophisticated. Abeyratne’s command of prose is technically brilliant and this is what makes the book unputdownable.
