Sobering listening to a story told through the eyes of a young Sri Lankan woman
I found that I could only listen to this story in small amounts. It was hard to listen to some of the stories presented .However it was told in such a believable way that it drew me in. The atrocities that continue to take place in Sri Lanka today reminded me that a civil war’s toll on civilians shows a grim part of humanity.
