Not Our War

Sanjiva Wijesinha's short stories - many of which have been awarded prizes in short story competitions - collected in an anthology for the first time. Drawing on the knowledge and experience gained during his long and varied career as an army medical officer, a paediatric surgeon and a family physician who has worked in various parts of the world, Sanjiva Wijesinha has crafted a series of short stories that are suffused with romance, drama and humour - and often carry a twist in the tail. A superbly written and engaging collection set in places ranging from Sri Lanka during the war against the Tamil Tigers to the Falkland Islands in the nineteen eighties, Wijesinha's book is in the same league as George Sava's Surgery Holds the Door and Arthur Conan Doyle's Round the Red Lamp. view book 0 comments incomplete
