The Big Girl & Other Stories is a retro-collection of stories by the talented posthumous author Alagu Subramaniam.
They recount scenes of life in Jaffna more than 50 years ago. The book which had disappeared from circulation has now been updated and reprinted in its entirety.
These stories evocatively capture the ethos of an era now past and will leave you nostalgic for a simpler time.

"Stories told sardonically and succinctly" - Philip Day, Sunday Times (London)
