Críticas
Tamil Tigress is a fascinating account of her radicalisation, stemming from the horrors she witnessed as a child and the losses that shattered her family and community. She captures a uniquely personal vision of Tamil Sri Lanka and the strangeness of childhood joys experienced amid bloodshed and family fracturing... This is a book about suffering, resilience and personal strength that I found ultimately unsettling and uniquely insightful. * Good Reading * De Soyza's beautifully written debut is a reflection on her journey from naive girl to woman. * Newcastle Herald * Beautifully written. * Sunday Herald Sun * De Soyza shines a light both on her personal experience and a political situation that is too little known * Saturday Age * More than a military memoir, this is a humanising account of the tragedy of war. * Courier Mail *
Reseña del editor
How was it that this well-educated, mixed-race, middle-class girl from a respectable family came to be fighting with the Tamil Tigers? Two days before Christmas in 1987, at the age of seventeen, Niromi de Soyza found herself in an ambush as part of a small platoon of militant Tamil Tigers fighting government forces in the bloody civil war that was to engulf Sri Lanka for decades. With her was her lifelong friend Ajanthi, also aged seventeen. Leaving behind them their shocked middle-class families, the teenagers had become part of the Tamil Tigers' first female contingent. Equipped with little more than a rifle and a cyanide capsule each, Niromi's group managed to survive on their wits in the jungle, facing not only the perils of war but starvation, illness and growing internal tensions among the militant Tigers. But then events erupted in ways that she could no longer bear.
