Translated from Tamil.

"This second volume in the Prison of Dreams quintet explores the disenfranchisement of Tamil youth in the face of growing Sinhala Buddhist nationalism. Rajalakshmi faces two options, whether to remain in her beloved little island, Nainativu, or to seek refuge in India. At the same time, as the idea of separatism grows, the movement begins to fracture through internal differences, and Rajalakshmi's beloved Suthan makes a decision that irrevocably alters their fates. As people begin to leave Nainativu, the novel shifts to mainland Sri Lanka and India and addresses the new challenges that face the scattered islanders. The original quintet in Tamil, Kanavu Sirai, was published as only one novel. The English translation is being published in 5 volumes. A Time of Questions is the second volume of the 5."--From publisher.
