Twelve cries from the homeland

All of the murmur were killed. My mother -in -law found his body in Kanga. The bullets were shot. These bodies were left in public to frighten people. The bodies were here and there, in full view of everyone. No one found my husband's body, some of the bodies were burned, and some were taken away. I do not know whether or not, the bodies were everywhere. After a civil war that lasted a quarter of a century and left nearly a hundred thousand dead, there are thousands of others lost, no one knows whether they are in prisons or in the mass graves of unknown sites. Mino Lee Saljado, Sri Lankan English writer, toured the cities of her homeland in search of the stories of lost people and their tormented loved ones. This book presents twelve tales of twelve people missing from all parties to the conflict, and makes the focus of its concentration for man, life and suffering, neither politics nor war nor power. (Twelve crying from the homeland) A message from the far world, telling us that if there are many reasons, our suffering is the same.
