Shehan has a crush on Robbie, his classmate and friend. Robbie is straight and finds Shehan’s affections unsettling. But then, that is all he has going for him in his turbulent life. When they both realize it, it is already too late.
"A moving story about a boy’s navigation through the confusing world of adolescent sexuality. Shehan’s journey to emotional maturity with its devastating impact on his beloved Robbie is described with sensitivity and poignancy."
- Associate Professor Chandani Lokuge, School of Languages, Literature, Cultures and Linguistics, Monash University.
"Wickremesekera weaves this bleak tale with a fine ear for the language and mores of young people and leavens the inevitable sadness and tragedy with a sardonic wit and an honest take on adolescent sexuality."
- Michael Cooke, Green Left Weekly
"This story is confronting, because it shows how darkness encroaches into the everyday lives of people and how it enters our lives through our longings and desires....The first person narrative powerfully immerses the reader into Shehan’s point of view. This engages us to inhabit his perspective, taking us past the point of judgement or personal distaste, latent homophobia or prejudice against violent ‘yobbo’ delinquent youth."
- Dr. Devika Brendon, Ceylon Today
