Sunil Tantirige’s “The House of a Thousand Memories” gives a third culture kid like me a glimpse into what it might have been like to grow up on this beautiful paradise island. The story is written as a gift to his son before the teeth of time loses its grip. I am just writing these stories to remember the incidents that happened years ago and hopefully through these, shine a light on the remarkable man that was my father.”Reading The House of a Thousand Memories felt like an idyllic vacation. Love, nostalgia and memories weave in and out of each chapter and are contagious. This is what will keep you turning page after page until you reach the last one and then suddenly you are left wishing there was more.
