The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida – Shehan Karunatilaka Winner of the Booker Prize 2022 – a darkly humorous and deeply human story about truth, love, and the search for justice. 📖 Overview: Colombo, 1990. Maali Almeida — war photographer, gambler, and closeted gay man — wakes up dead in what seems to be a celestial waiting room. His body lies at the bottom of a lake, and his memory offers no clues as to who killed him. In a country divided by political unrest, Maali’s list of possible suspects is long. Given only seven moons in the afterlife, Maali must navigate a surreal spirit world to contact the two people he loves most and lead them to a hidden cache of photographs that could expose hard truths and change everything. Blending biting satire with tenderness and wit, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida is a vivid and imaginative exploration of loss, love, and the power of truth-telling amid chaos. 📚 Details: • Format: Hardcover • Publisher: Sort of Books • Publication date: 4 Aug. 2022 • Print length: 368 pages 🔍 Good Condition: Books in good condition typically show general shelfwear.
