Officers' Mess is a story of resilience, betrayal, courage and faith. It is an inimitable
recounting of the author's experiences as a young girl during a turbulent chapter of
Sri Lankan (Ceylon) history. Set against the backdrop of the attempted coup d'ếtat
in 1962, it delves into the social and political events that shaped the lives of her
unforgettable family.
When she was 10 years old, her father and uncle, both majors in the Ceylon Army,
were imprisoned and tried for conspiring to overthrow the nationalist government of
Sirimavo Bandaranaike, the world's first female prime minister.
This memoir focuses on a critical moment in history -a time that might have
changed the course of the nation had the coup succeeded. It offers international
readers a unique perspective on post-colonial conflicts and their far-reachnig
impact on families. Exploring her family's Burgher (descendants of the British,
Dutch, and Portuguese) history and culture, she sheds light on a lesser-known
chapter of Sri Lanka's history, providing a new dimension to the literature on the
island's complex past.
