Monsoons and Potholes

by Manuka Wijesinghe

A mad, bad, humorous, irreverent and very personal,

auto biographical account of growing up in Sri Lanka

through the years of deprivation and plenty.

The trials and tribulations, real and imagined of the heroine Manuka,

in tandem with her view of the country's progress on

the slippery road to democracy.

Playwright Manuka Wijesinghe's first attempt at a novel is a saga

that takes you through the first twenty years of her life,

struggling with growing pains

analogous to Sri Lanka's turbulent politics.

A reality that may or may not have been shared by all,

but one that many will relate to...

Manuka Wijesinghe is a playwright, artist, poet, and

alternative medicine practitioner.

Her writing reflects the absurdities and injustices of life using satire

and her trademark witty style.
