The rich cultural and political landscape adds depth to the story. I'm curious how Romesh Gunesekera decided on this specific time and place.

The characters' interactions seemed layered with unspoken tensions and affection. How did others interpret the emotional undercurrents in their relationships?

The reflective, non-linear approach made the story feel intimate and layered. I wonder if this structure was planned from the start or evolved during writing.
