The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida | Shehan Karunatilaka

Pickpick

Maali, a war photographer, gambler and closeted gay wakes up in the afterlife after being murdered. He has seven moons to decide between going into the light or staying in this world with other ghosts who are trying to avenge their deaths. He is not as concerned with who killed him, all he wants is his photographs to see the light. I felt lost during certain parts, I knew nothing about Sri Lanka's history or culture and after reading the book ⬇️

nanuska_153 I still don't really know much about it, but it does sound interesting. There's a small attempt at the beginning to explain what the initials to the different factions involved in the war represent, but not detailed enough to learn what it really means, except that everyone is evil. I really loved the parts that were more centered on the characters, because I knew what was going on. ⬇️ 17h
nanuska_153 I think I'll re-read it once I get a chace to educate myself, because it's clear that the story is much richer than what I could get from the surface with my limited knowledge 17h
Graywacke Great book. Glad you enjoyed it! 16h

I‘ve put off reading this book for years. This copy was given to me by someone who said she buys this book at secondhand stores whenever she sees it and hands it out to people to read. I couldn‘t say no upon hearing that. I‘m glad I finally read it as distressing as the murder at the beginning is. It‘s really a book about grief and families. A really good read.

Oh this was sweet.
I needed something light and whilst the subject matter seems full of sadness, it's actually really uplifting and has a sense of happiness and love.
A truly cute little story that offers a different perspective on death.

Finished this out on the deck and got choked up by the ending. Great read!

My next read is another re-read. I think I have a pretty good memory of this one, but we'll see! (Don't mind my phone charger in the way of the picture) #BookElevenOf2025

“There we will, I pray, remain and learn and grow until the time when we will rise together to the ultimate heights, changing in appearance but never in devotion, sharing the transcendent glory of our love through all eternity.”

Sometimes the dreams that come true are the dreams you never even knew you had.

Magic isn‘t evil or good, or black or white. It is like the universe. Powerful and Supremely indifferent.
