The women and men who bound their fingers with gold ropes, poured hand-pans from golden jugs, and were brought together from then on, lived under the same roof, ate together, slept together, and struggled to understand their souls. They are striving to keep the family home alive by removing, mending, and treating the wreckage of their collapsing lives, just as a house built on the water is moved by the waves. But who will emerge victorious after a long struggle? The subject we discuss is addressed in Kulasena Fonsekaʼs novel Ways of the World, marriage and family corporation.
