Family's generations explored in a gorgeous tribute.

"Vicky Had One Eye Open is a beautifully written novel that delves into the complex relationships of an Anglo-Sri Lankan family. The book's structure is remarkable as it unfolds subterranean emotions and aspirations of the characters and the sense of place in which they are rooted. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys literary fiction and family dramas."

Description

This fictional portrayal of generations of an Anglo-Sri Lankan family is a literary, elegaic tribute to the notion of family  A wonderful first novel from Darryl Samaraweera sees Vicky's family gather around her hospital bed. In a remarkably confident literary structure, we explore the subterranean emotions and aspirations flowing through the family and its key members, and we absorb the impressionistic sense of place rooting them. Set in London and—in Vicky’s own imagination—in an idealized Sri Lanka, this is a gorgeous literary experience.
