Summary of the Book
Andrew Fidel may be Sri Lanka's worst fisharman, but he is also the island's funniest chronicler. In Upon a Sleepless Isle, he dons his backpack and flips-flops to take us along Sri Lanka's coasts, hills, jungles and ruins, via colourful characters,strange creatures, and well-told anecdotes. Amid messy adventures, Fidel grapples with Sri Lanka's past horrors, but also finds time to appreciate the bliss of a waterfall, the kindness of strangers, the serenity of forgiveness, and the true joy of trvel. A wonderful introduction for visitores to the island, and a reminder to those who live here why we do.'
