Description

A young Sinhalese woman in Sri Lanka is excited to receive a government scholarship to attend university. Fortunate, that is, until her education takes her to the hill-country of Kandy where life among the upper class is a constant reminder of her family's impoverished state in a southern village. Unhappy despite her promising future, Lakmini longs to help her parents and siblings. But there seems to be no way until a chance encounter with a disreputable Kandyan presents her with the choice of taking one extreme, drastic step that will fly in the face of everything she has ever honored about family and culture. My Scholarship tells the story about a kind of learning Lakmini never dreamed of.
