"A remarkably well-written novel by one of Canada's pre-eminent authors. A returning Sri Lankan forensics anthropologist must deal with the strife of civil war while struggling to make sense of a mysterious skeleton. Winner of the 2000 Scotiabank Giller Prize." -- HPL Readers' Advisor.

"Anil’s Ghost transports us to Sri Lanka, a country steeped in centuries of tradition, now forced into the late twentieth century by the ravages of civil war. Into this maelstrom steps Anil Tissera, a young woman born in Sri Lanka, educated in England and America, who returns to her homeland as a forensic anthropologist sent by an international human rights group to discover the source of the organized campaigns of murder engulfing the island. What follows is a story about love, about family, about identity, about the unknown enemy, about the quest to unlock the hidden past–a story propelled by a riveting mystery."--Publisher.
