The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida | Shehan Karunatilaka

pick

The last of the sweet peas (probably) and the last Booker from the longlist (probably) before the announcement.
I loved this one, kind of a crime story but told from the point of view of the dead man. Given "seven moons" before he has to make a decision on the afterlife, Maali tries to work out what led to his death. Problem is, too many suspects when you've taken work from all sides in a murky civil war (Sri Lanka, 1990).

squirrelbrain I think we‘ve had differing opinions on nearly every long list book! 🤣 3y

charl08 @Ruthiella yes, it's really funny: not enough characters to fit everything in I liked about this book. 3y

charl08 @Cinfhen one of the ones where I want to buy my own copy. I hope the paperback keeps this gorgeous cover. 3y

charl08 @squirrelbrain I've really enjoyed reading how everyone has found the books- and the range of responses 😀 3y

If you had a spirit on your back whispering in your ear, how would you possibly know? And, even if you did, how could you separate that voice from every other whisper?
