Funny Boy - Srilankan backgroud (but a desi can relate) by Shyam Selvadurai

thanks for the replies, and sorry for the delay on my part, thanks to Edmonton Public Library I am able to get most books, currently prefer Audio CD as can just soak it in while driving.
I really liked Q&A , very well knit story
