O knihe
Maya's journey from America to her birth country was meant to be a nostalgic visit. Instead it became a fight for survival. On the eve of Maya's 22nd birthday, civil war breaks out in Sri Lanka. During what will become known as "Black July," Maya is targeted and attacked in the organized massacres and pogroms against minorities, and she barely escapes the genocidal chaos. Haunted by the horrors she witnessed, Maya returns to the US and tries to rally a diverse group of allies to help expose the atrocities in her birth country, among them her Norwegian-American best friend, a magnanimous Catholic nun, and a gifted young man from her past. Bent on justice, Maya isn't prepared for the unexpected twists and turns, and confrontations with a nemesis that will test her resolve. As the war and humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka intensify, so does Maya's disillusionment with herself and realization that a mysterious mentor whose wisdom she once ignored holds the key to her future. Fans of Paolo Coelho, Amy Tan, Vaddey Ratner, and Khaled Hosseini will be captivated by July and Everything After, a modern tale of resilience and transformation against extraordinary odds and war.
