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.'A Passage North is written with scrupulous attention to nuance and detail...At its center is an exquisite form of noticing, a way of rendering consciousness and handling time that connects Arudpragasam to the great novelists of the past' - Colm Toibin, New York Times bestselling author of Brooklyn and The Testament of Mary'a revelatory exploration of the aftermath of war... (An) extraordinary and often illuminating novel' - Financial Times
