(The other two I read: Audrey Magee’s The Colony and Claire Keegan’s Things Like These.) The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida skews closer to The Colony in terms of dealing with internecine violence in a country riven by the legacy of British colonialism, but now it’s Sri Lanka instead of Ireland. So what better to do than to review the last book I read in 2022 (finished at approximately 9:30 PM on New Year’s Eve, yes I know how to party), the Booker Prize-winning The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida?Ģ022 was actually my best year when it comes to attacking the Booker longlist I read three of the nominees, and all of them were really excellent novels, in extremely divergent ways. I am exhausted: extremely jet-lagged and just submitted materials for my first major deadline of 2023.
