The fifteen multifaceted stories portray the mindset of people, in real life situations, in their day-to-day life and have a twist in the tale. Some of them are open ended and the dialogue has been used effectively, to bring out emotions where desirable. Some local terms, with regional variations that are shown in italics would direct the reader to the Glossary, at the end of the Book. This would be useful, particularly to non-Sri Lankan readers.  The first story titled ‘The Pot at the end of a Rainbow’ focuses on the plight of three good friends, in a desperate situation, trying to become rich overnight by resorting to desperate measures. He has also stepped into the avian world, in ‘Smokey’, which brings out the kind of fairy tale bond between a child and a bird. ‘Living in Hope’ portrays the emotions of a disabled daughter, the youngest in the family, who tries to fulfill her old father’s wish, when other siblings had failed.  ‘Good Samaritans’ offer you an exciting journey through the Southern coastal towns of Sri Lanka, while ‘Ramblers’ Club’ draws the reader’s attention to the glorious historic town of Galle. The story titled ‘King Coconuts’ is about mischievous escapades of three school friends.  In ‘Forgiven’, an innocent family learns to put up with an inconsiderate and ungrateful neighbor, who would take every opportunity to annoy and hurt them.   ‘Audit Trail’ gives you the experience of a creepy night, in an abandoned house.  The story about the little blind boy titled ‘Fingers that see’ is quite emotional. All the short stories are quite interesting and alluring and are thoroughly enjoyable.
