The news arrives on the heels of an email from Anjum, an activist he fell in love with four years earlier while living in Delhi, bringing with it the stirring of distant memories and desires. As Krishan makes the long journey by train from Colombo into the war-torn Northern Province for the funeral, so begins a passage into the soul of an island devastated by violence. Written with precision and grace, A Passage North is a poignant memorial for the missing and the dead, and a luminous meditation on time, consciousness, and the lasting imprint of the connections we make with others."--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Railroad travel $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Funeral rites and ceremonies $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Sri Lanka $x History $y Civil War, 1983-2009 $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211005012043.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ABEBDB1E25A111EC99F17AB23DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
