Book Review : Suncatcher by Romesh Gunesekaran
Title - Suncatcher Author - Romesh Gunesekara Genre - Coming of Age Historical Fiction So this is my first venture with a book based in Sri Lanka and I must say this was pretty impressive.

'Suncatcher' by Romesh Gunesekara is a story of bonding and friendship between two young boys Jay and Kairo during the year 1964 when Sri Lanka was under troubled times. The two of them are as different from one another as Chalk and Cheese and yet are bonded with each other as glue and paper.

This coming of age story talks about their evolving friendship and
