Half Gods by Akil Kumarasamy available on pre-order

A friend of mine has just finished a novel / book of interlinked stories in which the Tamil experience is an important factor.  It begins with an Eelam Tamil family grieving about the end of the war in Jersey and connects stories across time/place. There’s also a chapter/story called “The Office of Missing Persons,” which directly deals with disappearances.  The book has gotten really positive reviews from some well-known writers in the literary world.  It’s coming out in a month, available on pre-order (links below).
