520    "Jaffna, 1981. Sixteen-year-old Sashi wants to become a 
       doctor. But over the next decade, as a vicious civil war 
       subsumes Sri Lanka, her dream takes a different path as 
       she watches those around her, including her four beloved 
       brothers, swept up in violent political ideologies and 
       their consequences. She must ask herself: is it possible 
       for anyone to move through life without doing harm? Sashi 
       begins working as a medic at a field hospital for the 
       militant Tamil Tigers, who, following years of state 
       discrimination and violence, are fighting for a separate 
       homeland for Sri Lanka's Tamil minority. But after the 
       Tigers murder one of her teachers, and the arrival of 
       Indian peacekeepers brings further atrocities, she turns 
       to one of her professors, a feminist and dissident who 
       invites her to join in a dangerous, secret project of 
       documenting human rights violations as a mode of civil 
       resistance to war. In gorgeous, fearless writing, 
       Ganeshananthan captures furious mothers marching to demand
       news of their disappeared sons; a young student attending 
       the hunger strike of an equally young militant; and a 
       feminist reading group that tries to side with community 
       and justice over any single political belief. Set during 
       the early years of Sri Lanka's thirty-year civil war, and 
       based on over a decade of research, Movement explores the 
       blurred lines between formal participation in conflict and
       civilian life. This is a heartrending portrait of one 
       woman's moral journey, and a testament to both the 
       enduring impact of war and the bonds of home"--|cProvided
