Description

The harrowing journey of a teenage refugee who never gave up on his dream of seeing his family again.

Born to a wealthy family in northern Sri Lanka, Logathasan Tharmathurai and his family lost everything during the long and brutal Sri Lankan Civil War.

In January 1985, at the age of 18, he left his home in a desperate bid to build a new life for himself and his family abroad after a deeply traumatic encounter with a group of Sinhalese soldiers. As his terrifying and often astonishing journey unfolds, he finds himself in a refugee camp, being smuggled across international borders, living with drug dealers, and imprisoned.

The Sadness of Geography is a moving story of innocence lost, the persecution of an entire people, and the universal quest for a better life.

Must read book to feel living as an exile on his own country 🙏👌💕😢

I really enjoyed listening to your audio book ‘The Sadness of Geography’. I couldn’t put it down and finished it within a day.
It was very clearly written from the bottom of your heart. Your story was very relatable, yet full of so much detail, that it truly painted a picture.
For the most part, the story is same for every Tamil who escaped from war torn Sri Lanka- holding our lives in our hands .
What I liked most was the brutal honesty, which is exactly what a memoir needs. The narrator Ross paired along with the amazing language flow made this the best listening experience.

I cried. I felt. I admired.
I sensed the same, forever thanking Canada for welcoming us with open hands 🤲❤️and for giving us numerous opportunities throughout our lives .


I am very proud of you 👏🏻👌🙏💕 you put together a beautifully made book about all the hardships you went through to showcase to the world the complications of Tamils Lives via Audible -Amazon
