Author: Gibson, Ashley
Keywords: Ceylon, Europe, Colonials, Colonies, Sri Lanka
Publisher: J.M. Dent, London
Description: The book as the name suggests is purely about Ceylon. The author who spent seven years here, recounts his observations about the country, its people, places, communities, beliefs and practices. A running theme of this work is how quickly this region has been undergoing change and a new social fabric is underway. The most stark representation of this is the dwindling significance of European colonials and their practices. The book is written in a very personalised fashion adding to the reader's interest.
