The war between the Sri Lankan armed forces and the Tamil separatist group, Tigers is over, but deep scars remain. Lalitha returns to Sri Lanka , to her war torn country and the family she left behind in a time of great turbulence. Memories are hard and bitter: What secrets do her sister, Jessie and brother Anthony hide? Why does Daisy, the distraught mother, cling to the memories in such anguish? Did Fatima teacher curse them all when the Muslim community was evicted in 1990? Why did Jude, her beloved brother disappear? Questions need answers that are not really there. The Single Tumbler is a recuperation of a life lived in pain and betrayal, seeking reconciliation, affirmation and hope.
