Books Columns - Browser's Corner Swimming In The Monsoon Sea
Swimming In The Monsoon Sea explores first love in all its complexity and turmoil. Set in Sri Lanka, during the monsoon season in 1980, the book is about 14-year-old Amrith who faces an uneventful summer in the cheerful well-to-do household in which he is raised by his aunt and uncle. His holiday plans seem `unpromising' until his cousin arrives from Canada. Amrith's ordered life becomes storm-tossed as he falls in love with the boy. Shakespeare's Othello, with its powerful theme of disastrous jealousy, forms the backdrop to the drama in which Amrith finds himself immersed.
