Celebrating Sri Lankan Writers! 🇱🇰
Find "Chameleon Silva - A Snort-Story" by Keith Jayasekera on our bookshelves.

📚Book Summary:
There are bad apples in every family. And contrary to popular belief, the rotten one doesn’t always spoil the good. Because deep down in that rottenness, a layer or two of goodness remains. Docile, even decomposed a bit – but itching to spring back to life. To prove everyone wrong. And more often than not, this does happen. But rarely at the right time. Finding the apex is everything. This can happen accidentally or by design. The trouble is, no one is around to notice. As the world moves along at its own rhythmic pace, it’s up to each one of us to hop in. Otherwise, you’ll be left behind. Silva manages to get on board in the nick of time.
