Explore the devastating impact of the Sri Lankan civil war on women in “Ummath: A Novel of Community and Conflict.” This powerful novel, spanning three decades, intimately portrays the lives of Thawakkul, Yoga, and Theivanai, women from different ethnic and communal backgrounds whose lives are irrevocably shaped by war. Sharmila Seyyid fearlessly examines the intertwining forces of Islamist fundamentalism, Tamil nationalism, and Sri Lankan majoritarian chauvinism. “Ummath” offers a raw, honest, and sensitive look at the societal complexities and human cost of conflict and its aftermath. A must-read for those seeking profound insights into resilience, identity, and the enduring spirit of community amidst division. Discover this compelling narrative at The Bookish Owl.
