Winner of the 2022 Booker Prize, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeidaby Shehan Karunatilaka is a darkly comic, genre-bending murder mystery set in 1990s Sri Lanka. War photographer Maali Almeida wakes up dead in a celestial visa office, with no idea who killed him or why. In a nation torn by violence and secrets, he has seven moons to unravel the mystery of his own murder and lead those he loves to a cache of photographs that could expose the country’s darkest truths.
A sharp, satirical, and moving exploration of love, identity, and the cost of conflict.
