- A Little Dust on the Eyes (Peepal Tree, 2014) was the first novel to historically align the Sri Lankan civil war and the South Asian tsunami and has received critical attention for drawing attention to the ethics and aesthetics of bearing witness to traumatic events. The outcome of ten years' research and fieldwork on enforced disappearance in the island, the novel won the first SI Leeds Literary Prize, was long-listed for the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature 2016 (the region's largest literary prize) and was one of twelve novels translated for the EU-funded translation project, ‘Echoes of Realities’.
