Tamil Tigress: My story as a child soldier in Sri Lanka's bloody civil war

I wasn't sure about the start of this book- it sounded a bit old fashioned and colour and wealth conscious ( although I accept that this was/is true of Sri Lanka and the rest of the world) However when the real story starts it was fascinating to hear of the conditions the Tamil Tigers lived in, how the women fighters coped with day to day life and the positive and negative sides to the Tiger movement.This story feels very true and is really worth reading.

Shocking and heartfelt is an understatement. I recently visited Jaffna on a tour of Sri Lanka and the reminants of this era still exist today. So sad and harrowing that such beautiful people cant live in peace in such a beautiful country even now. Let's hope for the future x

have read this several times.

Brilliant read actually read it whilst on the plane to Sri Lanka and visited Jaffna to trace husbands family history so a very poignant book .

A heartbreaking tale that many Tamil Sri Lankans will relate to.How ordinary peaceful people can be brutalised and a land so lush and lovely all but destroyed.See my account of one family's journey "The Land of Lost Content" also on amazon.Well done Niromi, this could have been any of us. I am so sorry they took your youth and your innocence.Sureshini Sanders
