Yesha Fernando's 'Lilac' costs Rs. 400, and have 96 pages is an innovative approach to literature.
This book contains free-verse poetry and prose.
Syringa vulgaris (lilac or common lilac) is a species of flowering plant in the olive family Oleaceae, native to the Balkan Peninsula, where it grows on rocky hills.
Mo. La. Senavirathne (මො.ල. සෙනවිරත්න) in his preface to this literary work emphasizes the value of this book as follows,
"Lilac invites us into a romantic atmosphere or space.
Life expects an enjoyment of experiences.
Therefore it is vital to share your feelings, not through pressure but a positive spark of emotions through aesthetics."
In the prose passages of this book many deep and complex human situations are depicted in a beautiful manner.
The freedom of love and humanity is felt throughout this book.
Poetry is filled with creativity and humor.
I gladly invite literature lovers to read lilac because of its simplicity and humanity.
