Sunil's father used to take bribes to get the money he needed for his luxury lifestyle.

What stands out here is the strong friendship between Sunil, a boy from an elite family, and Nimal, a child from a poor family, beyond their social status. Ilangaratne has tailored even some of the more complex social issues to suit the little ones here. Ev Although Amba Yahaluwo is generally considered a children's novel, Amba Yahaluwo is a story that sets valuable lessons for everyone, big or small. Our authors should write more books like this without writing the spiteful lame books that comes out these days.moreĪlthough Amba Yahaluwo is generally considered a children's novel, Amba Yahaluwo is a story that sets valuable lessons for everyone, big or small. Simple but deep, enjoyable at any stage in life. It's a tragedy how the society trampled the beautiful friendship between Nimal and Sunil as they leave their childhood behind. The children has no need for negative teachings as such but the parents, the society will force them in. So often I wondered why is it necessary, today after about 2 decades, I'm still asking why. The sad truth of how the class difference affected the normal life of children is captured in the perfect manner. Simple but One of the best books of childhood.


Truly a wonderful a "coming of age" novel. Nimal is “other” of the Walauva where as Sunil is the son of a privileged Civil Servant. The socio-economic classifications that surrounding them will never let them be friend as they want to. I really feel now this is a “coming of age” novel where the two friends must pass their innocent childhood and adolescence to face the facts. It brought back lot of old memories of the friendship between Nimal and Sunil (Sudhu Appo), annoying grandmother, haughty sister, all the characters we loved to love and hate.
