Warnarine Samahin (1942-2021) chronicled her experience growing up in Manning Town, Colombo, Sri Lanka, in the late 1950s. Her work was published posthumously by her son, Reza Samahin.

Incidentally, after accepting the project, we discovered D.M. De Alwis' mother had spent the early part of her childhood growing up in Manning Town.
